Taenia rileyi is a tapeworm of the genus Taenia from the United States. Adults infect bobcats (Lynx rufus) and feral domestic cats (Felis silvestris catus),[1] but larvae have been found in rodents such as the cotton mouse (Peromyscus gossypinus),[2] the marsh rice rat (Oryzomys palustris) in Florida,[3] and the hispid cotton rat (Sigmodon hispidus) in Florida and Georgia.[4] These rodents may serve as intermediate hosts.[1]
