These host-parasite systems are characterized by (i) no overcrowding in either host; (ii) no parasite-induced mortality of either host; (iii) no density-dependent constraint in the definitive host, but a strong, rapidly mobilized, short-acting immunity in the intermediate host and (iv) egg production which, in the natural environment, is high enough to prevent superinfection. It is considered that tapeworms with these characteristics are more stable to fluctuations in environmental conditions and to control measures such as dog dosing, than species which have a low egg production and infectivity such as <jats:italic>Echinococcus granulosus<\/jats:italic>. Reciprocal immunity exists between <jats:italic>T. hydatigena<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>T. ovis<\/jats:italic> in sheep.
