Tapeworms are parasitic to their host which mean that they take nutrients from their host. Many animals are an easy target for an infection of tapeworm, especially if left outside. Also, many people leaving under the poor condition and having pets are likely to get the tapeworm infection. “But there is a one that is considered one of the most dangerous parasitic in the northern hemisphere the Alveolar echinococcosis a tapeworm based on all the authors” [1-4] Many research have been done through the years, showing that tapeworms have many hosts and some are just intermediate host until it gets to its final host the human body. How do they get to the human body? …show more content…
Most people don’t even have symptoms, but if they do they would have nausea, loss of appetite, loss of weight, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Many tapeworms have been found inside of human small intestine and in animals. Tapeworm doesn't have a true digestive track, so they absorbed nutrient from the host. Many research has been done through the years to find how people get infected by tapeworms. They used medical records of anonymized people that have been infected with tapeworms. Soon they found out many of the people infected by tapeworms are people living in poor condition and having an animal in their homes, having a garden of fruits going to the garden to use the bathroom, and hunting and eating the meat [5-6]. So, they use this information to make experiment: they selected 2 group of people. One with pets and one with no pets. People with garden and with no garden, and the last group was people hunting and none
