“…SALMINEN (1970) carried out extensive studies on factors affecting survival of plerocercoids and provides a detailed list of treatments required to render them non-infective. b) Genus Spirometra Members of this genus differ morphologically from Diphyllobothrium in that the uterine loops form a spiral rather than a rosette, the eggs have pointed ends (62 x 34 Ilm) and the male and female genital pores open separately rather than into a common sinus (BEARUP 1953). The life cycle is basically similar but Cyclops rather than Diaptomus is the preferred first intermediate host (MUELLER 1938) and a wider range of amphibians, reptiles, and mammals (but not fish) serve as second intermediate or transport hosts.…”

“…However, a wide range of vertebrates can be infected, and infection can pass from animal to animal along the food chain. Feral pigs are commonly infected in Australia (BEARUP 1953) and man can become infected by eating improperly cooked pork. S. mansoni in the Far East uses dogs and cats as final hosts and has a similar intermediate host range to S. erinacei.…”

“…Most likely, the cat ingested a sparganum of a genus not normally parasitic for cats, and thus became a transport host for that particular parasite. I t could also be that this cat directly ingested the procercoid larvae, although it is difficult to infect mammals by feeding mature proceroids to them (Bearup, 1953). As a third possibility, perhaps a state of partial resistance in the host would prevent a sparganum from developing into an adult, and it would behave as if it were in a second transport host.…”

“…After a suitable second intermediate host ingests the first intermediate host, the procercoid penetrates the gut wall of the second intermediate host and develops into a plerocercoid larva. Bearup (1953) states that the plerocercoid stage of Spirometra is referred to as a sparganum and is found in a wide range of vertebrate hosts. Cheng (1964) says that the spargana of Sfiirometra and of Dibothriocephalus occur principally in fish.…”

“…The material available from the carcases was used to infest dogs and cats and, from the rcsulting adult worms, material was supplied for some of the work reported by Bearup (1953). Miss Sandars, to whom some material was also sent for taxonomic and experimental work, exposed spargana from pigs to human gastric juice for various periods and then administered th3m to cats.…”
