Pathogenicity and Pathology[edit]
They are intestinal parasites in the definitive host. The level of their infection and clinical pathogenicity is characteristic of each species. R. cesticillus is quite harmless in terms of symptoms; whereas R. echinobothrida is highly pathogenic, and causes nodular tapeworm disease under heavy infection. Under severe infection, stunted growth and decreased egg production, resulting in loss of meat and egg productions are experienced. Chronic infection results in diarrhoea, emaciation and anaemia, indicated by haemorrhage in the intestine. Physiological symptoms include degeneration of epithelial cells, enteritis, and macrophage infiltration of lymphocyte
