Trematoda (Schistosoma)
- Final host: human
- Intermediate host: snail
- Infective stage: cercaria
- Causes disease: bilharziasis, transmitted by swimming in contaminated water
Cestoda (Tapeworm)
- Includes T.solium (in pork) and T.sagenata (in beef)
- Final host: human
- Intermediate host: T.solium (pork) and T.sagenata (beef)
- Infective stage: cycticercus found in muscle tissue
- Causes disease: cycticercusis (in pork), transmitted by undercooked meat
Nematoda (Round Worm)
- Includes Ascaris lumbricoides
