Taenia solium and Taenia saginata

The gravid proglottids, measuring approximately 12mm long and 6mm wide, have a uterus with approximately 8 to 12 lateral branches, less than T. saginata. The scolex in this tapeworm may also be differentiated from T. saginata as it is equipped with a rostellum (hook) with a double crown of approximately 30 hooks. ................
