Abstract
Anoplotaenia dasyuri was found commonly in Tasmanian devils ( Sarcophilus harrisi) and was also found in a tiger cat ( Dasyurus maculatus), in feral cats ( Felis catus) and in rural dogs in Tasmania. The Bennett's wallaby ( Macropus rufogriseus) was a suitable experimental intermediate host, metacestodes localising in the heart, lungs and skeletal muscles. Natural infections were detected in pademelons ( Thylogale billardieri) and potoroos ( Potorous apicalis) as well as in M. rufogriseus. Metacestodes from wallabies developed into gravid worms when fed to Tasmanians devils and to a tiger cat but failed to develop in dogs. The development in Tasmanian devils is described.
