Cestoda, commonly known as tapeworms, primarily live in the intestines of their vertebrate hosts, including mammals, birds, and fish. They attach themselves to the intestinal walls using specialized structures called scolex. Some species of tapeworms can also inhabit other organs or tissues, depending on their life cycle stages and host species. In addition, certain tapeworms can be found in the intermediate hosts, such as crustaceans or other aquatic organisms, during their larval stages.
