Tapeworms are considered indirect parasites because they often require an intermediate host to complete their life cycle. Typically, the adult tapeworm resides in the intestines of a definitive host, such as a mammal, while its larval stages develop in intermediate hosts, like fish or livestock. Transmission occurs when the definitive host consumes the infected intermediate host.
