Tapeworms

[Writhedhornbill]

At School I'm doing a project with my friends ( Fodders included) about tapeworms. We are trying to find as much info as possible, so if anyone has any interesting facts about tapeworms , could they please post them here. Thanks!!

What are Hidatids?

 

[bongorob]

Hidatid or hydatid is a disease caused by a tapeworm (Echinococcus granulosus) commonly found in dogs. Check the link

Echinococcus granulosus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thanks. A little warning to anyone who is looking for pictures of Tapeworms; Don't try searching for tapeworm pictures on google web search. The first link made my science teacher try to hide it from us. She failed!!

Hehe ... I think any school teacher doing a web search, in real time, in a classroom, on a network without adequate content filtering in place ... is just asking for trouble !!!

We do have filtering at school, but not on the teacher's computers.
