LIFE HISTORY STUDIES ON TAENIA MUSTELAE GMELIN, 1790 AND THE TAXONOMY OF CERTAIN TAENIOID CESTODES FROM MUSTELIDAE
Taenia mustelae Gmelin, 1790 (= T. tenuicollis Rudolphi, 1819) is proposed as the valid name for the small-hooked cestode from European brown weasel, and Taenia martis (Zeder, 1803) n. comb. (= T. intermedia Rudolphi, 1810) is proposed for the large-hooked cestode from European marten. T. mustelae a...
