👉 Taeniella is a genus of protozoan parasites that infects various species of animals, primarily invertebrates such as fish and birds, but also humans. The term "taenia" comes from the Latin word meaning "tuna," referring to the small, round-shaped structures found in the intestinal lining of these animals. Taeniella is characterized by its ability to cause inflammation, known as haemorrhagic disease, that can lead to muscle weakness and wasting.
