Dipylidium caninum (Cyclophyllidea, Dipylidiidae) in a Wild Carnivore from Brazil

Year: 2012

Type: article

Abstract: We report Dipylidium caninum for the first time in a wild carnivore in Brazil, the crab-eating fox (Cerdocyon thous). Presence of the cestode could be the consequence of anthropogenic expansion into natural habitats of this host, as this parasite has only previously been reported in domestic hosts in Brazil.
