Answer:

Answer is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is false because both of them require host program to carry out their infections. Worms like tapeworm and flatworms need spaces within the host's body for replication and infection, same goes for the virus. That is why they are referred to as parasites. They depend on the host for survival and alongside causing damages to the host cells.
