YANGON/NANJING : A team of international scientists has found a tapeworm body fossil in a mid-Cretaceous Kachin amber, dating back approximately 100 million years, according to the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Cestoda, or tapeworms, are a specialized endoparasitic group of flatworms. They have a complex lifecycle requiring at least two different hosts, and are known to infect all major groups of vertebrates. Due to their soft tissue and concealed habitats, their fossil records are extremely sparse. Notably, this discovery also demonstrates that amber can preserve the internal structure of helminths. Luo Cihang, a doctoral candidate at the institute, suggested that this finding also presents a hypothesis regarding how a tapeworm from the ocean ended up in amber.
