Tapeworms are part of the phylum platyhelminthes. They are long, flat, parasitic worms that are adapted to life inside the intestines of their hosts. Tapeworms are the simplest animals to have three embryonic germ layers, bilateral symmetry and cephalization. They are NOT annelids because that phylum consists of animals with segmented bodies that are separated by septa. Each segment performs special functions. Most annelids reproduce sexually, while tapeworms reproduce asexually by fission.

Moniezia is a genus of cestodes (tapeworms) that primarily infects the intestines of ruminants, such as cattle and sheep. It is not known to infect humans, as the life cycle of Moniezia requires intermediate hosts like mites, which are not part of human biology. Thus, humans are not considered a host for these parasites and cannot contract infections from them.
