This study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of anoplocephalid cestodes in sheep and goats in Senegal. Intestines of 462 sheep and 48 goats were examined; 47.4% of sheep and 6.2% of goats were infected. The species identified and their prevalence were, among sheep,Avitellina centripunctata38.7%,Moniezia expansa15.4%,Stilesia globipunctata16.7%, andThysaniezia ovilla0.4%. Among goats, they wereM. expansa6.2% andT. ovilla2.1%. The prevalence of all species was not statistically different between dry and rainy seasons. The infections were single or multiple. Indeed, 56.2% of sheep were infected by a single species, 37.4% by two species, and 6.4% by three species. For goats, 66.7% were infected byM. expansaand 33.3% by bothM. expansaandT. ovilla. Scanning electron microscopic (SEM) observations of tapeworms show the general diagnosis characters of these species.
