Tapeworms are commonly found in the intestines of various animals, including humans, as they thrive in environments rich in nutrients. They are typically transmitted through the consumption of undercooked or contaminated meat, fish, or contaminated food and water. In addition to livestock, tapeworms can also be found in wild animals, particularly those that serve as hosts, such as rodents and carnivores. Proper cooking and hygiene practices can help prevent tapeworm infections.
Tapeworms are all in the class Cestoda, which includes fourteen separate orders. Of the tapeworms that most commonly infect humans, Taenia solium, T. saginata and Hymenolepis nana are in the order Cyclophyllidea, and Diphyllobothrium latum is in the order Pseudophyllidea.

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.

Tapeworms are usually treated with a single dose of medicine taken by mouth. Commonly used medicines for tapeworms are praziquantel (Biltricide) and albendazole (Albenza).These medications kill the tapeworms. The dead tapeworms then dissolve or pass from your body with bowel movements. If worms are large, you may have cramping when they pass. Your doctor will recheck stool samples at one and three months after you finish treatment. When tapeworms are confined to the intestines, appropriate treatment gets rid of them in more than 95% of people.
No, stomach acids do not kill tapeworms. Tapeworms are adapted to the environment of the alimentary canal; if they were not, there would be no tapeworms.
