Recent studies by transmission (TEM) and/or scanning (SEM) electron microscopy on the adults of species (other than Hymenolepis) are those on Multiceps endothoracicus (342, 343), Proteocephalus ambloplitis (139, 369), Bothriocephalus acheilognathi (267), Taenia crassiceps (601, 410), T. taeniaeformis (519), Anomotaenia constricta (244), Paricterotaeniaporosa (244), Proteocephalus tidswelli... 

Most work has centred on cyclophyllidean species whose larvae develop in mammals. Few studies have been made on the other cestode orders, such as the Pseudophyllidea whose larvae develop in lower vertebrates, especially fish, amphibia and reptilia. Apart from the H. nana/rodent system, discussed earlier, the most studied species have been those which are either readily maintained in laboratory animals or are of medical, veterinary or economic importance, i.e. Echinococcus granulosus, E. multilocularis, Mesocestoides corti, Taenia crassiceps, T. hydatigena, T. multiceps, T. ovis, T. saginata and T. solium. The account given here has been restricted largely to these species.
