Abstract:O autor descreve o ciclo biológico de hymenolepis diminuta (Rud., 1819) em dois novos hospedeiros intermediários: Strongylopsalis mathurinii (Dermaptera) e Alphitobius piceus (Coleoptera). O desenvolvimento larvar é similar em ambos os hospedeiros, embora algumas diferenças em detalhes tenham sido observadas, tais como os tempos de evolução e as dimensões dos cisticercóides; os cisticercóides obtidos dos dermápteros têm maiores dimensões relativas e o tempo de evolução pode ser de apenas 9 dias.

“…In contrast, in the present study we did not observe trematodes or cestodes. Several beetles belonging to the order Coleoptera can act as intermediate hosts for cestodes (Rego 1972), and the occurrence of these parasites may be related to the abundance of their intermediate hosts (Abu-Madi et al 2000). In a study of a beetle community in the Caatinga biome, Liberal et al (2011) pointed out that the seasonal variation in this biome affects the abundance of the dung beetles.…”
