Answer to Question 1

Roundworms infect almost all types of livestock and exist by living in the digestive tracts of their hosts. Tapeworms live in the small intestine of the host animal in the adult stage, where they live off feed that is passed into the host animal's intestine. This harms the animal, because the tapeworm devours the food the animal has eaten. Flukes are small flatworms that live in various parts of the host animal. The most common is the adult liver fluke, which lives in the bile ducts of the liver where it causes scarring of the liver and bile ducts and general irritation of the liver.
