Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Echinococcus granulosis is a tapeworm that forms hydatid cysts in the liver of its intermediate host, which in this case is the deer. When a definitive host, such as a wolf, eats the infected intermediate host, the tapeworm develops in its intestine and starts producing proglottids filled with scoleces. Eventually, these proglottids release eggs into the wolf's feces.
