During the study a celebrity, who is in no way connected with the study but had been previously diagnosed with oral cancer, dies from the advancing disease.

In the intestine оf the аdult dоg, there аre mаle and females wоrms that mate and sexually reproduce, resulting in the shedding of eggs in the feces. The infective eggs containing larvae (i.e. worms) are ingested by a mouse, which is a non-essential host, and in the mouse the larva neither develops nor reproduces but is infective for another dog. When a human ingests the infective egg containing the larva, the worm migrates to different parts of the body. However, because the worm doesn’t usually infect humans, it does not develop into an adult worm. In this scenario, the human will not be eaten by the adult dog (it’s very friendly!) Based on the above, answer the following question: The dog is what type of host (select the best answer)?
