Question

Number of proglottides present in Echinococcus granulosus is

• A. 3-4
• B. 10-15
• C. 25-30
• D. 250-300

Answer 1

The correct option is A 3-4

Adult E. granulosus have a scolex with only three attached segments, which are immature proglottid, mature proglottid, and gravid proglottid. The scolex has four lateral suckers and the rostellum is non-retractable and armed with hooks. So, option A is correct.
