Parasites in animals can be transmitted through various routes such as ingestion of contaminated food or water, contact with contaminated soil or feces, and through the bite of an infected vector such as a tick or mosquito. Some parasites can also be transmitted through direct contact with infected animals or through the placenta from mother to offspring. Preventative measures such as good hygiene practices, parasite control programs, and vaccination can help reduce the risk of transmission.

What is trophic transmission in cestodes?
Trophic transmission occurs when the encysted larval form of a parasite are transmitted to the final host during the consumption of the intermediate host. They then mature in the final host. In simple terms - the young of the parasite live in the gut of a prey animal. That prey animal is then consumed by a predator. If it is the correct predator (trophically transmitted parasites can be species-specific) then the parasite will mature and reproduce in the gut of the predator.
