Coenurosis is infection with the metacestode larval stage (coenurus; plural coenuri) of coenurus-forming Taenia species, including Taenia (=Multiceps) multiceps, T. serialis, T. brauni, and T. glomeratus. Of these, T. multiceps is the most commonly implicated species.

Eggs of T. solium and T. saginata are indistinguishable and species identification should be made from proglottids or scoleces. “ Taenia ” spp. should be reported if only eggs are found. Hymenolepis nana
