From March 1996 to February 1997, slaughtered-sheeps’ heads were examined for the metacestode of Taenia multiceps. Out of 451 sheep heads, only 12 (3 % ) were infested. All cysts but one were in the age group 0.5–2.5 years old, with prevalence of 10 % (11 of 108). Eleven of 12 infested heads were found during the spring and autumn seasons.
