Abstract

A four years old, mixed breed cat was reported to have a Joyeuxiella sp. tapeworm infection. Upon necropsy, The most striking lesion was a diffuse chronic catarrhal enteritis along with a heavy tapeworm infection in the small intestine. The tapeworms were identified as the genus Joyeuxeilla, Family Dilepididae, based on the morphology which were comprised of 2 sets of reproductive organs in a mature segment and only one egg in each egg capsule, in the gravid segments. This is the first report of Joyeuxiella sp. tapeworm infection in Thailand.
