Extract

Buckley and Fairley (1950) working in England found segments of a species of Bertiella passed by an eight year old girl who had lived in Kenya for 14 months during 1946–47. Since only the terminal segments were available for study, a specific identification could not be made, though the authors thought that it was probably Bertiella studeri (Blanchard, 1891). Nelson (1963) has found that baboons in Kenya are commonly infected with species of Bertiella.
