Summary Introduction

To evaluate: The claim that worms, humans, and most other triploblasts have a shape analogous to that of a doughnut.

Concept introduction: Animals can be grouped into diploblastic and triploblastic on the basis of number of germ layers possessed by them. Diploblastic animals are those that contain only two germ layers. Cnidarians and a few other groups of animals are diploblastic.

On the other hand, triploblastic are animals that contain three germ layers. The triploblasts consist of a number of animals ranging from flatworms to vertebrates.

(A) Dirofilaria (heartworms) (B) Dracunculus (Guinea worm) (C) Ascaris (D) Hookworms 1. Life cycle includes only a single host 2. The infective stage is a free-living larva that can enter the skin directly 3. On target to become the first parasite-caused human disease to be eradicated 4. Has an arthropod intermediate host 5. Traditional treatment involves winding the female worm around a matchstick 6. Infections can be prevented by not defecating on soill improving sanitation of soil 7.
