Hello,
What else would you add to this explanation about "Ascaris lumbricoides", can be any cusious fact about it :)
Ascaris lumbricoides, commonly known as the human roundworm. 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…

- One of the most characteristic symptoms of malaria is the alternation of attacks (involving a cold phase, a hot phase, and a sweating phase) with periods of 1 or 2 days of no or few fevers. Given the life cycle of Plasmodium what is the best explanation for this pattern: When free in the blood, merozoites release chemicals that directly cause body responses. Merozoites appear in coordinated “waves”, which explains the cycling attacks Merozoites entering the red blood cells generate a strong response from the red blood cells, which stimulates a massive immune response Attack phase correlates with simultaneous bursting of infected red blood cells, releasing thousands or millions of merozoites. This triggers massive immune response, resulting in symptoms Plasmodium generates a constant accumulation of irritants in the blood, mostly residues from digesting hemoglobin . Once the amount reaches a critical level, these trigger a massive immune responsearrow_forwardEach of the following parasite is transmitted by insect EXCEPT: Leishmania tropica Plasmodium vivax Entamoeba histolytica Rickettsiaarrow_forwardWhich of the following are true regarding parasites in the phylum Apicomplexa? a) they are intracellular parasites b) when they are inside cells, they exist within a parasitophorous vacuole c) the phylum includes the malaria parasites d) movement of the parasites into cells involves the action of an actomyosin motor e) they only reproduce asexuallyarrow_forward
