  1. Nematode By Leon And Lamont’e ft. Doug

  2. Nematode Roundworms that has long slender bodies that taper at both ends. Length less than 1mm to 120mm (4ft). Food enters the digestive tract with two opening. Digested material is eliminated from the anus. Have Separate sexes and are covered by a protective, noncellular layer called the cuticle. 150 species of roundworms are parasites of plants and animals. Most kinds of roundworms live freely in soil, water, dead plants, or dead animals Reproduce by laying eggs

  3. Nematode-Ascaris • Parasite that lives in the intestines of pigs, horses and humans. • Feed on the food that passes through the intestines of there host. • Females grow up to 30cm(1ft) • Produce up to 200,000 eggs everyday • If severely infected the larvae in the lungs can back air pressure and cause bleeding from small blood vessels.

  4. Ascaris • Kingdom: Animalia • Phylum: Nematoda • Class: Secernentea • Order: Ascaridida • Family: Asarididae • Genus: Ascaris • Species: A. lumbricoides

  5. Nematode-hookworms • Hookworms- a small roundworm that enters the bodies of human beings and some animals through the skin. • size from 5 to 11 millimetres (0.2 to 0.4 inch) • Live as parasites in the intestines. • Sucks up blood and tissue fluids. • Cause anemia (a shortage of red blood cells). • cause an itchy, red patch on human skin called creeping eruption

  6. Hookworm • Kingdom:AnimaliaPhylum:NematodaClass:SecernenteaOrder:Family:AncylostomatidaeGenus:Necator/Ancylostoma

  7. Nematode-Trichina • Trichina- a small roundworm that causes the disease trichinosis • measure between 1.4 mm and 1.6 mm long • Parasite- feed on animals. • Adults live embedded in the walls of the hosts intestine • The Produe larvae that travel through the bloodstream to the muscle where they form cysts. • People become infected when they eat undercooked meat usually pork that is contaminated with cysts. • After they are eaten, the cysts release the larvae (early form of the worms) which burrow into the intestinal wall and mature into adults.

  8. Trichinella • Kingdom Animalia Phylum Nematoda Class Adenophorea Order Trichocephalida Family Trichinellidae Genus Trichinella

  9. Nematode-Pinworm • Pinworm- Most common round parasite of humans in the united states • Infects 16% of adults 30% kids • Don’t cause any real diseases • 5-10mm (0.2-0.4in)in length • Females migrate out and lay eggs • which become infectious in soil or in an intermediate host before infecting humans

  10. Pinworm • Kingdom Animalia Phylum Nematoda Class Secernentea Order Ascaridida Family Oxyuridae Species Enterobius vermicularis • Enterobius vermicularis

  11. Nematode-Filarial worm • Disease-cause-round worms that infect over 250 million people in tropical countries • Most dangerous filarial worms in the lymphatic system • 100mm(4in) • Blocked-the lymphatic vessels causing fluid to accumulate in the limbs. • They can be seen in the blood near the body surface of the host (the animal in which the larvae live).
