No, but maybe..

A human can get a tapeworm if he/she accidentally swallows an infected flea. If that flea is brought in on your dog (or cat), I guess it is indirectly responsible.

Bottom line, worm your pets and use flea control

ETA:
Meant to point out that THAT is how the dog/cat gets the tapeworms, too...by ingesting an infected flea
