Question

Write a note on Causitive agent of ascariasis

Answer 1

Answer:

Ascariasis is an infection of the small intestine caused by Ascaris lumbricoides, which is a species of roundworm.

Roundworms are a type of parasitic worm. Infections caused by roundworms are fairly common. Ascariasis is the most common roundworm infection. About 10 percent of the developing world is infected with intestinal worms, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

However, parasitic worm infections are not as common in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Ascariasis is most common in places without modern sanitation. People get the parasite through unsafe food and water. The infection usually causes no symptoms, but a high number of roundworms (heavier infestations) can lead to problems in the lungs or intestines
