Tupaiataenia quentini (Schmidt & File, 1977) in Tupaia belangeri (Wagner, 1841): transmission experiments and Praziquantel treatment.
Tupaiataenia quentini was found in many Tupaia belangeri from a closed colony in West Germany. 1.25 mg Praziquantel per animal proved to be efficient for deworming. Direct transmission experiments to non-parasitized tree shrews from another colony failed.
