Adults of Taenia saginata, which infests humans, can form proglottid chains over 20 metres (66 ft) long, although 4 metres (13 ft) is more typical. Each proglottid has both male and female reproductive organs.

Flatworm Hence, the traditional platyhelminth subgroup Turbellaria is now regarded as paraphyletic, since it excludes the wholly parasitic groups, although these are descended from one group of turbellarians. Over half of all known flatworm species are parasitic, and some do enormous harm to humans and their livestock.Schistosomiasis, caused by one genus of trematodes, is the second-most devastating of all human diseases caused by parasites, surpassed only by malaria.rom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Platyhelminthes Platyhelminths, or flatworms, include both free-living and parasitic species. The phylum Platyhelminthes is divided into two monophyletic clades, the Catenulida (with just around 100 known species; Larsson and Jondelius 2008) and the Rhabditophora, which includes nearly all known platyhelminths (Timothy et al. 2004; Willems et al. 2006; Larsson and Jondelius 2008).

- Platyhelminthes are mostly worm like creatures that are dorsoventrally flattened, meaning they look like a ribbon, this is why they are called names such as Tapeworm, Flatworm, Fluke and Planarian. The Platyhelminthes are a successful phylum with around 25,000 known species divided into four classes. Most Platyhelminthes are parasites on other animals, only the Turbellarians are mostly non-parasitic. A few species are commensalists living in harmony, or mutual benefit with another, normally larger organism. Most species feed on animal material either as parasites or as scavengers, a very few species feed on algae.
