It is a parasitic worm that infects about 772–892 million people worldwide. It belongs to a group of parasites known as soil-transmitted helminths (STH), which are spread through contact with contaminated soil. The adult worms live in the human intestine, where they can cause various health problems, especially in children. Infection usually occurs when a person consumes food or water contaminated with infective Ascaris eggs from soil. This is common in areas with poor sanitation and hygiene practices, especially in tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, and the Americas (About Ascariasis, 2024). The life cycle begins when an infected person’s feces contaminates soil with Ascaris eggs. These eggs mature and become infective, spreading to humans through ingesting contaminated food or…arrow_forwardIn 1874 a man by the name of Dr. Trudeau knew all too well that a large number of people diagnosed with consumption (now called Tuberculosis) ultimately died. Crowded together in cities like New York, where he was living with his young family, were tens of thousands of immigrants who were trying to adapt to life in the U.S. They worked long days in crowded factories and lived in inadequate housing with poor ventilation, sanitation, and very little food. Despite being ill, they labored for as long as they could draw breath as the bacterial infection in their lungs worsened and spread, eroding blood vessels and causing bleeding and poor oxygenation, or causing the lungs to fill with fluid until the sufferer might literally drown. After work, they would retire to their dank, crowded apartments to be nursed by their families until they died. Often family members would themselves become infected from their close contact and constant inhalation of organisms expelled by their…arrow_forward
