As an example, the colonization of the intestinal tract with a tapeworm can be cited, for example with the rat tapeworm Hymenolepis diminuta , where the intermediate hosts are mealworms and larvae of dog and rat flea and humans become infected through ingestion of infected insect larvae.

The repopulation of a host after an initially successful cure is called reinfestation.
