vertebrate
Both flukes and tapeworms are parasites with vertebrate hosts, including human hosts. Flukes live in the hosts circulatory system or liver. Tapeworms live in the hosts digestive system. Usually, more than one type of host is required to complete the parasites life cycle. Look at the life cycle of the liver fluke in Figure below . As an adult, the fluke has a vertebrate host. As a larva, it has an invertebrate host. If you follow the life cycle, you can see how each host becomes infected so the fluke can continue its life cycle.
