Who was the scientist that discovered tapeworms?

Answer 1

The discovery of tapeworms is attributed to several scientists over time, but the first detailed description is often credited to the Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus in the 18th century. He classified tapeworms in his work "Systema Naturae" published in 1758. However, earlier observations of these parasites existed, and various researchers contributed to the understanding of their Biology and life cycles.
