| class (tapeworm) | cestodes |
| class (fluke) | trematodes |
| fluke | dorsoventrally flattened, flattened and leaf shaped |
| cestodes | dorsoventrally flattened, ribbonlike, segmented |
| characteristics | long, segmented, ribbonlike, absorb nutrients through cuticle (no digestive tract), true tapeworm, pseudotapeworm |
| scolex | anterior end, some have retractable structure called rostellum (Armed) backward facing hooks, 4 suckers, |
| strobila | body, proglottids, most mature proglottids are at distal end, hermaphroditic, genital pores usually open at the lateral margins |
| eggs | spread by detaching a whole gravid segment full of eggs, contain larval stage (hexacanth), |
| pyriform apparatur | an egg with three covering |
| Dipylidium egg | egg packet contain multiple hexacanth within one egg |
| taenia egg | wide outer shell with a thicker outer covering and a 6 hooked hexacanth within the egg |
| pseudophyllidean egg | has an operculum at one end |
| cysticercoid | single invaginated scolex, tiny fluid filled space, flea/grain mite |
| cysticercus | single bladder with 1 scolex, fluid filled, IM is a mammal such as a rabbit |
| strobilocercus | cysticercus that has begun to elongate and segment while still in the IH |
| coenurus | single fluid filled bladder with many scolices |
| hydatid unilocular | contains brood capsules which release scolices, grows slowly |
| hydatid alveolar | cyst with exogenous budding, invasive, doesnt remain contained within capsule, known only for echinococcus multilocularis |
