We detected for the first time a hybrid form between &lt;i&gt;T. saginata&lt;\/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;T. asiatica&lt;\/i&gt; in Preah Vihear Province, Cambodia. An adult tapeworm specimen, i.e., 75 cm long strobila without scolex, was expelled from a 27-year-old man after praziquantel medication and purging. It was morphologically indistinguishable between &lt;i&gt;T. saginata&lt;\/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;T. asiatica&lt;\/i&gt;. Several proglottids were molecularly analyzed to confirm the tapeworm species. The mitochondrial gene encoding cytochrome &lt;i&gt;c&lt;\/i&gt; oxidase subunit 1 (&lt;i&gt;cox&lt;\/i&gt;1) and nuclear genes encoding elongation factor-1\u03b1 (&lt;i&gt;ef1&lt;\/i&gt;) and ezrin-radixin-moesin (ERM)-like protein (&lt;i&gt;elp&lt;\/i&gt;) were sequenced, and a single-allele analysis was performed to confirm the haploid genotype. The results revealed that our sample showed a discrepancy between the mitochondrial and 2 nuclear genes. It possessed homozygous sequences typical of &lt;i&gt;T. saginata&lt;\/i&gt; at &lt;i&gt;cox&lt;\/i&gt;1 and &lt;i&gt;ef1&lt;\/i&gt; loci. However, it was heterozygous at the &lt;i&gt;elp&lt;\/i&gt; locus, with 1 allele in &lt;i&gt;T. asiatica (elpA)&lt;\/i&gt; and 1 in &lt;i&gt;T. saginata (elpC&lt;\/i&gt;), which indicates that it is a hybrid between &lt;i&gt;T. saginata&lt;\/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;T. asiatica&lt;\/i&gt;. The present results confirmed the presence of a hybrid between &lt;i&gt;T. saginata&lt;\/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;T. asiatica&lt;\/i&gt; in Cambodia and strongly suggest the existence of also \u2018pure\u2019 &lt;i&gt;T. asiatica&lt;\/i&gt;
