Question

State whether true or false:
A parasite can have multiple hosts.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

For the completion of their life cycle, some parasites require more than just the host. For example, tapeworm completes its life cycle in humans and cows/pigs. In humans which is the definitive host, it multiplies and causes the symptoms. In cows and pigs (the reservoir host), it just resides and does not show any ill effects.
