摘要
Naturally occurring cysticercoids of Choanotaenia infundibulum were recovered by dissection from 78 adult beetles out of a total of 542 adults collected from two poultry farms in Khartoum. Larval beetles were also found naturally infected but at the low rate of 0.75%. Experimental infection of clean adult beetles confirmed the suitability of Alphitobius diaperinus as an intermediate host for C. infundibulum but four other species of poultry tapeworms failed to develop in this host. This constitutes the first record of A. diaperinus as an intermediate host for this tapeworm. © 1979 Elsevier Scientific Publishing Company.
