My source (foundations of parasitology) itself has footnotes. Do I cite the book or the footnoted source as my source here? Thanks, Dave (talk) 22:19, Apr 4, 2005 (UTC)


This is actually the wrong name for this worm, the broad tapeworm or the fish tapeworm (common names) refer to this particular worm, broadfish is a weird amagalmation of the two names. The disorder caused by worms from this genus has a page, Diphyllobothriasis, this page should probably be merged there--nixie 01:07, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
