Occurrence of a Larval Cestode in the Red Locust Nomadacris septemfasciata Serv
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 April 2009
Extract
A Parasite which proves to be the cysticercoid of a Cestode was discovered by one of us (A. M. G.) in the course of work on the locust problem in British Chad in 1933–4. The material was sent to the Imperial Institute of Entomology, London, where the other author (A. G. H.) undertook the microscopic examination, measurement and description of the specimens and determined their nature. This is the first time a Cestode larva has been recorded in Acrididae and, as far as can be ascertained, in Orthoptera generally. The original slides have been deposited at the British Museum (Natural History).
