Tapeworms

I depends, usually with a flea/worm treatment (revolution brand or advocate)which is a combined formula placed on the cat's neck (most recommended product) should be done once a month. Make sure you worm your pets because if you don't it can be deadly!

no the methodology is entirely different.

earth worms and other members of PHYLUM ANNELIDA are different from other worms in that they are SEGMENTED meaning that internaly, earthworms separated into segments by a thin membrane called the SEPTUM. Earth worms are also known for their barrel shaped CLITELLUM -----------=----

that usulally covers segments 32-37. one more thing... earth worms have a CLOSED circulatory system, while most other worms have OPEN circulatory systems. hope this helps

I think it is asexual.

fleas

No, mainly because fleas are blood-sucking parasite and tapeworms are stomach parasites. Also, because when a flea is a flea, it's in the adult stage. If that makes sense.

yes they do. they also have an excretory system

Yes. Recently, there have been people who swallowed tape worms to loose weight. They lost weight all right, but died too.

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.

Decreased appetite and upset stomach are some of the signs that a dog is infested with worms.

immune system, digestive, exocrine, ect.

It gets ride of waste through the one opening (its mouth) were it also eats.

In both the diseases, fever may start with slow onset. Patients suffering from both of them complain of headache. Patients suffering from both will have mild spenomegaly at some stage of fever. ( Usually at the end of week.) Both fevers have leucopenia in peripheral smear. Fever will never rise above 104 degree Fahrenheit in typhoid fever. And patient of typhoid fever will get 'toxic' in about 7 days of fever. At 104 degree Fahrenheit temperature he will need assistance of two persons to go to toilet as against patient of malarial fever. Patient of malarial fever can walk to longer distance without assistance. The experienced doctor can tell from the face of the patient that he is suffering from typhoid fever or not.

Tapeworm eggs survive very well outside the body, often for years in unfavorable conditions. Adult tapeworms, however, are very dependent upon remaining in the intestinal tract and are generally dead before they come out of the body.

Yes.

it gives it a lap dance

Your doctor should be able to give you a good, definitive answer. However, common sense recommendations are:

1. Make sure that you get the cat treated.

2. Ask someone else to take care of the litterbox while you are pregnant.

3. Always wash your hands after handling the cat.

Yes they live in cold water but they are inactive due to the low temperatures

Tapeworms are hardly "useful". Indeed a tapeworm infestation is a serious medical condition leading to malnutrition as the worm diverts one's food into its own tissues.

The worm hangs onto the intestinal wall by a head called a scolex, and buds off segments containing eggs, that are released in the stool.

These segments can be seen and look something like cucumber seeds. Fortunately by means of a suitable vermicide, a tapeworm infestation is easily cured.

But of course the best approach is not to become infected in the first place. The most common source is "measly beef" and poorly cooked pork, that is beef or pork that contains tapeworm cysts. Fortunately in the western world, meat production is closely supervised, and measily meat is a rarity.

Humans can also accidentally contract tapeworms from wild rats and mice, fish, and a common one is the dog tapeworm. This can be transferred by an infected dog licking one's face.

The worst is when a human acts as a secondary host to the hydatids tapeworm. This produces huge cysts in the body and even the brain, and have to be removed by major surgery.

The best way to prevent this is to have dogs regularly treated for worms, and never feed dogs sheep offal, which is the tissue most commonly favoured by the worm cysts.

In advanced agricultural countries it is a criminal offense to do so, and working dogs must be regularly treated by law, because a cyst in a human is absolutely devastating.

Tapeworms generally live in the intestine.

It is best to take them to a vet. They can treat them easily and and it will be best for the pups.
