Other intermediate hosts include sheep and cattle. In its adult phase, the tapeworm lives in the intestines of dog species worldwide which serve as the definitive host. Humans and other intermediate hosts become infected when ingesting food or water contaminated by dog feces. The tapeworm eggs are ingested during play with dogs or by consumption of fecally contaminated garden vegetables. Most human cases occur in areas where dogs and livestock are raised together.
