![]() ![]() CESTODA Among the oldest known parasites, tapeworms are considered humanity's largest intestinal inhabitant. ![]() Common nematode include: Roundworm (Ascaris lumbricoides), Hookworm (Necator Americanus, Ancylostoma duodenal), P inworm (Enterobius vermicularis), Roundworm (Toxocara canis, Toxocara cati), Heart worm (Dirofilaria immitis), Strongyloides (Stronglyoides stercoralis), Trichinella (Trichinella spiralis), Filaria (Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi, Onchocerca volvulus, Loa loa, Mansonella streptocerca, Mansonella perstans, Mansonella ozzardi), and Anisakine larvae. Experts claim that 'some type of worm is already in the intestines of over 75 percent of the world's population'. While it may be unpleasant to consider, it is true that the human host can coexist quite comfortably with a few worms, unless they reproduce in great numbers and create organ obstruction. It is interesting to note that unless the worm infection is heavy, many individuals do not show signs of infestation.
