Extract

Asexual multiplication in Cysticercus pisifortnis (Bloch, 1780) was first described by Moniez (1880). This observation was refuted by Solomon (1934) as being “erroneous or descriptive of an isolated or abnormal phenomenon”. Several years later, Crusz (1948) confirmed the observations of Moniez (1880). Voge (1967) did not mention asexual reproduction in this species in her review on postembryonic development of cestodes.
