Abstract
Metacestodes (cysticerci) of Taenia omissa Liihe, 1910, and Taenia hydatigena Pallas, 1776, were found in 9 and one of 124 white-tailed deer, respectively, in southern Florida in 1984-1986. Intensities of T. omissa varied from 1 to 15 (x[bar] = 4.6); only one cysticercus of T. hydatigena was collected. No significant difference in the prevalences of T. omissa according to sex, age, or locality was observed.
