Abstract
Diphyllobothrium latum is an important
cestode parasite, which produces macrocytic anaemia resembling pernicious anaemia in animals.
D. latum occurs in the small intestine of cat in many
parts of the world (Soulsby, 1982; Hendrix, 1995;
Urguhart et al., 1996). Isospora sp. produced severe
diarrhoea in young kittens with high oocyst counts
(Soulsby, 1982; Urguhart et al., 1996; Barutzki and
Schaper, 2003).
