Cestoda is a class of parasitic worms in the flatworm phylum (Platyhelminthes). Most of the species—and the best-known—are those in the subclass Eucestoda ; they are ribbon-like worms as adults, commonly known as tapeworms .
Cyclophyllidea (the cyclophyllid cestodes) is the order of Cestoda (tapeworm).It is the largest and most diverse order of Cestoda (tapeworm), encompassing species that infect all classes of terrestrial tetrapods including humans and domesticated animals, [1] and includes species with some of the most severe health impact on wildlife, livestock, and humans.
Pseudophyllid cestodes (former order pseudophyllidea) are tapeworms with multiple "segments" (proglottids) and two bothria or "sucking grooves" as adults. Proglottids are identifiably pseudophyllid as the genital pore and uterine pore are located on the mid- ventral surface, and the ovary is bilobed (" dumbbell -shaped").
Cestodaria is one of two subclasses of the class Cestoda. The Cestodaria subclass is made up of Amphilinidea and Gyrocotylidea . The larvae have ten hooks on the posterior end.
