👉 Tachyta, also known as tachycaranus, is a type of tapeworm that feeds on blood and causes symptoms similar to those of worms such as roundworms. It has an elongated body shape, which makes it difficult to see in its normal form, but can be seen under a microscope or by palpating the abdomen. Tachyta are typically found in freshwater environments where they feed on small animals like fish and crustaceans.
