【 摘 要 】

Six cystic metacestodes were found in the abdominal muscles of a wild rabbit, Lepus sinensis , in China. The coenurus contained one or more scolices armed with hooklets. Mitochondrial cox 1 (1,623 bp) confirmed 98% homology with cox 1 of Taenia serialis . This is the first report of T. serialis infection in an intermediate host in the Qinghai Tibetan Plateau Area, China.
