A survey was transported on the natural contamination of Spirometra procercoids in Cyclops from water ponds in Tarangire National Park, Tanzania. Spirometra is an stomach tapeworm of wild and tame carnivores that is to say most commonly visualized in Asian countries. The all-encompassing predominance of Spirometra in reptiles, frogs, dogs and cats has happened reported. The demeanor of procercoids in the corpse cavities of 84 Cyclops captured from ponds in Tarangire National Park was examined. The Cyclops were sedated accompanying carbonated water before being intentional under a compound microscope. Six Cyclops were found to have Spirometra procercoids in their bodily cavities. Procercoids promoted lengthen bodies, calcareous corpuscles, and a smooth material surface. The average length was 101.7m and the breadth was 71.7m. Each contaminated Cyclops only had one procercoid. This is the first report of Spirometra procercoid contamination in a Cyclops from Tanzania. Based to the judgments, Cyclops are the first intermediate hosts in the biological clock of Spirometra species in Tanzania.
