Resource Description:
Nematodes (Roundworms) - Nematodes are parasitic worms with long, cylindrical bodies. Roundworm infections are widespread throughout the world. There are separate articles on Nematode skin infestations, Ascaris lumbricoides, Angiostrongyliasis, Strongyloides Stercoralis, Threadworm, Toxocariasis, Onchocerciasis and Filariasis. Ascariasis and trichuriasis are more common in warm, moist climates where people use human or animal faeces for fertilizer. Anisakiasis is most common in countries where raw or pickled fish or squid is a popular food item. Humans acquire most types of roundworm infection from contaminated food or by touching the mouth with contaminated and unwashed hands.
