parasitic worm- worm that is parasitic on the intestines of vertebrates especially roundworms and tapeworms and flukes helminth worm- any of numerous relatively small elongated soft-bodied animals especially of the phyla Annelida and Chaetognatha and Nematoda and Nemertea and Platyhelminthes; also many...
parasites from the marine environment were ignored as representing a risk. More recently, more researchers have investigated actual or potential human marine infections; easily observable worms and other metazoans have
Toxocariasis, or visceral larva migrans, is a syndrome caused by invasion of human extraintestinal tissues by larvae of Ascaris spp. for which humans are not the usual host of the adult worms. Toxocara canis, commonly found in dogs, is the most commonly implicated species; Toxocara catis (cats...
(Pathology) inflammation of one or both lungs, in which the air sacs (alveoli) become filled with liquid, which renders them useless for breathing. It is usually caused by bacterial (esp pneumococcal) or viral infection [C17: New Latin from Greek frompneumōnlung] ...
We analyzed the data by using Chisquareand T test.Results: Of 4223 stool samples, 75 (17.9%) have at least one type of parasite. Therate of infection with intestinal protozoan is 15.9% including 8.1% with B.Hominis, 6.4% with G. lamblia, and 1.9% with intestinal worms (S. ster...
Intestinal flukes: demonstration of adult worms or eggs in feces Lung flukes: demonstration of eggs in sputum or feces All trematode species that are parasitic for humans are digenetic. Sexual reproduction in the adult fluke is followed by asexual multiplication in the larval stage. Most species ...
An increasing number of parasites are being added to the list of those that can be transmitted via food or water and that pose a risk to human health if ingested. These zoonotic infections usually have complicated life cycles requiring a number of hosts
Parasites that infect people include protozoa and worms (helminths, such as hookworms and tapeworms). Protozoa, which reproduce by cell division, can reproduce inside people. Helminths, in contrast, produce eggs or larvae that develop in the environment before they become capable of infecting peopl...
This study aims to determine the types of endoparasite worms and the number of eggs of endoparasite worms that infect animals of the Timor deer type (Cervus timorensis) in the Pangandaran Nature Reserve area. This study used the Survey method; sampling data were taken using the Random Sampling...
Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease caused by trematodes of the genus Schistosoma. The intravascular worms acquire the nutrients necessary for their survival from host blood. Since all animals are auxotrophic for riboflavin (vitamin B2), schistosomes
