Tapeworm Parasites of Dogs in the Punjab

Abstract

The parasitic worm fauna of domesticated animals in India has in the past been greatly neglected as a subject for research by zoologists working in that country. The increased interest in Helminthology during the last few years has been world-wide, and has led to greater attention being paid to Indian parasitic worms, such attention has, however, been largely devoted to the Roundworms, the Flatworms, with the exception of the Trematodes, receiving but scant attention.
