Abstract
A new host and distribution record is reported for tetrathyridia of Mesocestoides sp. One of 5 (20%) Namib tiger snakes, Telescopus beetzi, from South Africa was infected. Numerous tetrathyridia were found encapsulated in mesentery attached to the small intestine. Morphological examination of tetrathyridia revealed absence of buds, multiple scoleces, or any other evidence of asexual proliferation. A summary of the snakes of the world reported as hosts of tetrathyridia of Mesocestoides sp. is presented.
