“…In North America, the adult form of T. crassiceps has been reported in arctic fox (Alopex lagopus) (Rausch, 1952), red fox (Vulpes vulpes) (Freeman, 1954), and wolves (Canis lupus) (Freeman, 1961). Natural infections with T. crassiceps larvae have also been reported in lemmings (Dicrostonyx groenlandicus and Lemmus trimurcronatus) (Rausch, 1952), eastern chipmunks (Tamias striatus) (Freeman, 1954), muskrats (Ondatra zibethicus) (Freeman, 1954), meadow voles (Microtus pennsylvanicus) (Freeman, 1954), woodchucks (Freeman, 1962;Beaudoin et al, 1969;Albert et al, 1972;Shiga et al, 1987;Anderson et al, 1990), and in a black lemur (Eulemur macaco) (Dyer and Greve, 1998).…”

“…4,48 Although parasites of domestic carnivores are known to cause disease in captive lemurs, minimal data are currently available on gastrointestinal parasites of domestic carnivores in Madagascar. 9,13,30,39,41,43,44 These data will be valuable as a baseline reference, especially as domestic animals are increasingly encroaching into Madagascar forests (Rasambainarivo, pers. comm.).…”

Fecal samples from captive and free-living lemurs at Ivoloina Zoological Park (IZP) and domestic carnivores from six villages surrounding IZP were evaluated between July and August 2012. Free-living lemurs from Betampona Natural Reserve (BNR), a relatively pristine rainforest fragment 40 km away, were also evaluated in November 2013. All 33 dogs sampled (100%) and 16 of 22 cats sampled (72.7%) were parasitized, predominantly with nematodes (strongyles, ascarids, and spirurids) as well as cestodes and protozoans. Similar types of parasites were identified in the lemur populations. Identification of spirurid nematodes and protozoans in the lemur fecal samples were of concern due to previously documented morbidity and mortality in lemurs from these parasitic agents. Twelve of 13 free-living (93%) and 31 of 49 captive (63%) lemurs sampled at IZP had a higher parasite prevalence than lemurs at BNR, with 13 of 24 (54%) being parasitized. The lemurs in BNR are likely at risk of increased exposure to these parasites and, therefore, increased morbidity and mortality, as humans and their domestic animals are encroaching on this natural area.

“…There are several types of tapeworms such as T pisiformis, T hydatigena, T saginata, Taenia crassiceps and other parasites that can be found in the peritoneal cavity in several types of animals, [320][321][322][323][324] but we are not aware of patients with peritoneal cysticercosis caused by T solium cysticercosis up to date.…”
