   Did dinosaurs have blood parasites?

   • The paleontologists published their findings in Cretaceous Research in October. Both the dinosaur—a small, long-necked titanosaur sauropod about sixteen feet from nose to tail—and the 70 blood parasites found within the vascular channels of its bone are newly discovered species that have yet to be named or described.

   How did dinosaur parasites decay?

   • The soft bodies of dinosaur parasites were more likely to decay after the death of their host than become preserved, but like living parasites today, dwellers in a dinosaur's digestive tract probably produced cysts or eggs that were passed out of the body in the dinosaur's excrement.

   Did tyrannosaurs get parasites?

   • Then again, the behavior of the tyrannosaurs themselves probably made things worse. Face-biting may have transmitted the microorganisms from one individual to another, and some tyrannosaurs may have picked up the parasites when they scavenged their own dead. There were certainly many more dinosaur parasites than those recognized so far.

   Did dinosaurs have tapeworms?

   • There is no reason to think they didn't. Both the living descendants of dinosaurs ( birds) and their crocodylian cousins harbor tapeworms, Zimmer pointed out, and so it isn't unreasonable to imagine monstrous, prehistoric tapeworms winding their way through dinosaurian intestines.
