A tapeworm's life cycle starts | A tapeworm's life cycle starts as an egg(once contained in a proglottid) that has been excreted in a host's feces. Once eaten by the intermediate host the egg travels to the intestine where it hatches. The newly hatched larvae(in most species it has a fully developed scolex) than burrows into and through the intestine wall into an organ or the body cavity. [http://animals.jrank.org/pages/1527/Tapeworms-Cestoda-BEHAVIOR-REPRODUCTION.html] The larvae stays in an organ(for example; the muscles, eyes, brain or almost any other organ of the body) of the intermideate host(which can be almost any vertebrate) | ||
