Hymenolepis nana, The Dwarf Tapeworm

The Hymenolepis nana is also known as the Dwarf Tapeworm. There are 400 species of Hymenolepis. It is the Hymenolepis nana that is known as the Human Tapeworm. Beetles and fleas are the intermediate hosts (the tapeworm does not always need this host), and humans are both the primary and definitive hosts and can reinfect themselves. Once the eggs are ingested they hatch, go through their larval stage in the small intestine, and then move into the tissue in the gut and grow to adulthood. Hymenolepis nana infestations are prevalent in highly populated areas where hygiene and sanitary conditions are poor.

Symptoms of the Hymenolepis nana are: anorexia, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, however, symptoms often go unnoticed.
