Number of cysticercoids developed after exposing Hymenolepis diminuta eggs (79 ± 6 SD) with different treatment strategies on Tenebrio molitor host. The average number of T. molitor hosts used for counting cysticercoid was 27, 43, 25 and 30 for nylon, starvation, wounding, and control group, respectively. The nylon group refers to the insertion of a 2 mm nylon filament into the body cavity. Starvation refers to deprivation of food for 10 days, while the wounding group served to test the effect of the injury on the abdomen without the insertion of the nylon filament. The control group received ad libitum food and did not receive any treatment.
