The present study investigates the suitability and importance of some insect species in maintaining the life cycle of cestodes parasites of caged layer hens in Brazil. A total of 702 (48%) of Dermestes ater examined were found harboring Choanotaenia infundibulum and Raillietina laticanalis and a total of 165 (16%) of Musca domestica harbouring C. infundibulum only. No Stomoxys calcitrans, Muscina stabulans, Chrysomya putoria, Chrysomya megacephala were found to contain cysticercoids. The same was true for Alphitobius diaperinus , three species of Histeridae beetle, one species of Staphylinidae, and Trox sp. Zusammenfassung Zur Cestodenübertragung bei Legehennen durch im Dung brütende Dipteren und Coleopteren Es wurde die Eignung und die Bedeutung einiger Insektenarten für den Entwicklungszyklus von Cestoden bei Legehennen in Brasilien untersucht. In 702 (= 48%) Dermestes ater konnten Choanotaenia infundibulum und Raillietina laticanalis nachgewiesen werden, in 165 (= 16%) Musca domestica nur C. infundibulum. Stomoxys calcitrans, Muscina stabulans, Chrysomya putoria und Ch. megacephala enthielten ‐ ebenso wie Alphitobius diaperinus , drei Histeriden‐Arten und eine Staphylinidenart, Trox sp., keine Cysticercoiden.
