- Repeated treatment is required for H. nana at an interval of 7–10 days. Praziquantel as a single dose (25 mg/kg) is the current treatment of choice for hymenolepiasis and has an efficacy of 96%.[en.wikipedia.org]

Pathophysiology
- The effect on morbidity identified in this study is consistent with the known pathophysiology of H. nana and T. trichiura worms, which are known to cause inflammation, bleeding, and dysentery through mucosal injury and local, humoral, and cellular responses[journals.plos.org]
- Another less frequent zoonotic intestinal tapeworm infection is caused by H. diminuta, commonly known as the rat tapeworm, in which humans are incidental hosts. [1] Pathophysiology The life cycles consist of adult (tapeworm) stages in the small bowel[emedicine.medscape.com]
Prevention
