Tapeworms are long, flat worms that live in the intestines of humans and animals. Lice are small, wingless insects that live on the blood of humans and animals. Both tapeworms and lice live off a host (humans in this context) and derive nutrients from the host, which is the characteristic of parasites. Bacteria are single - celled microorganisms, fungi can be single - celled (like yeast) or multicellular (like mushrooms), and viruses are acellular entities that need a host to replicate but have a different mode of interaction compared to tapeworms and lice.
