| Hydatid disease in humans is caused by the dog tapeworm, Echinococcus granulosus. |
| As mentioned earlier, tapeworm proglottids exit the body along with bodily wastes to search for a new host in which to proliferate. |
| Vitamin B-12 deficiency can also be caused by a tapeworm ingested from contaminated fish, because the tapeworm saps nutrients from your body. |
| Proglottids are complete reproductive systems that allow the hermaphroditic tapeworm to reproduce. |
| A scolex, or a hold-fast organ, on the anterior end of the tapeworm fastens to the intestinal walls. |
| The embryo produced directly from the egg in a metagenetic series, especially the larva of a tapeworm or other parasitic worm. |
