Morphologic Characteristics
General Flatworm Characteristics Except lacks Digestive Tract Absorbs food directly across Tegument
Adult Body Scolex => Holdfast organ
usually has suckers, retractable or non-retractable rostellum of Hooks
Neck Germinative region produces "segments“, asexually
Strobila Series of Maturing "Segments" or Proglottids Each Proglottid is an individual reproductive unit immature, mature, gravid proglottids in series.

Zoonosis
Humans are the definitive host.
If humans ingest ova from human feces (i.e. self-infection) then cysticercosis. (humans act as intermediate host)
- cysticerci in muscles, eyes, brain.
- most important cause of neurologic DZ in Latin America
