The reproductive cycles of parasites are often very complex, sometimes requiring more than one host species. A tapeworm is a parasite that causes disease in humans when contaminated, undercooked meat is consumed.
If a pathogen only infects one host species, the pathogen can evolve to become highly proficient at evading the immune system of that host.
The reproductive cycles of parasites are often very complex, sometimes requiring more than one host species. A tapeworm is a parasite that causes disease in humans when contaminated, undercooked meat such as pork, fish, or beef is consumed (Figure \(\PageIndex{10}\)).

Mar 13, 2020 · They focus on two ways in which one parasite species can affect another: 1) through force of infection (how likely a host is to get infected) and 2) parasite clearance rate (how likely a host is to clear the parasite from the body).
The reproductive cycles of parasites are often very complex, sometimes requiring more than one host species. A tapeworm is a parasite that causes disease in humans when contaminated, undercooked meat such as pork, fish, or beef is consumed (Figure 3).
