A- They have nearly the same morphology as mature segments because eggs are continuously discharged from the uterine pore. B- This is to avoid the possibility of metastasis or leakage of hydatid fluid that may precipitate anaphylactic shock. C- To kill the newly developing adults.

1) The sexes are separate 2) Males posses a gynecophoric canal for holding the female during copulation 3) The pharynx is not muscular 4) Intestinal caeca reunite to form a single caecum 5) The testes are more than two Skin affection starts with severe dermatitis.

In the American type, this is seen mainly in the head and neck region, producing an appearance of premature senility. In Africa it is responsible for the complication known as hanging groin.
