Few things are as creepy as the thought of a parasite gaining entry to your body. Tapeworms are parasites that take up residence in the intestines of humans or animals. They only choose hosts with backbones, so invertebrates aren't affected by them.or example, one segment of the common tapeworm (Dipylidium caninum), which is usually found in dogs and cats, can be just the size of a grain of sand, leading people to think the entire tapeworm is quite tiny. This is a misconception, however, as the whole tapeworm can be about 6 inches or more in length.
