Helminthic parasites have two vectors human and non human.

Explanation:

Let us take an example of tapeworm . Two hosts of tapeworm are pig and human. From pig meat tapeworm cysts enters human being. One part of the life cycle of tapeworm develops in muscles of pig.
When cysts of tapeworm enters in human intestine it develops.
Human body accepts the tapeworm because we do not have any defence against tapeworm.
This is true with all helminthic diseases.
