Abstract EN
This study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of anoplocephalid cestodes in sheep and goats in Senegal.
Intestines of 462 sheep and 48 goats were examined; 47.4% of sheep and 6.2% of goats were infected.
The species identified and their prevalence were, among sheep, Avitellina centripunctata 38.7%, Moniezia expansa 15.4%, Stilesia globipunctata 16.7%, and Thysaniezia ovilla 0.4%.
Among goats, they were M.
expansa 6.2% and T.
ovilla 2.1%.
The prevalence of all species was not statistically different between dry and rainy seasons.
The infections were single or multiple.
Indeed, 56.2% of sheep were infected by a single species, 37.4% by two species, and 6.4% by three species.
For goats, 66.7% were infected by M.
expansa and 33.3% by both M.
expansa and T.
ovilla.
Scanning electron microscopic (SEM) observations of tapeworms show the general diagnosis characters of these species.
