Species of flatworm From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Taenia mustelae is a tapeworm of the genus Taenia from the United States. Adults infect carnivorans such as weasels, skunks, and martens,[1] but larvae have been found in rodents such as the Florida mouse (Podomys floridanus)[2] and the marsh rice rat (Oryzomys palustris) in Florida[3] and the hispid cotton rat (Sigmodon hispidus) in Florida and Georgia.[4] These rodents may serve as intermediate hosts.[5]
