Tapeworm
Tapeworm is a parasite found in the intestines or tissue of many mammals. Worm segments containing eggs are shed and passed in the stool, leaving the tapeworm head still attached in the intestine to produce new segments. Of the most common types of canine and feline tapeworms, infection of the intestinal tract occurs by ingestion of an infected flea or infected wild prey (including rodents and rabbits).
