High prevalence of this parasite is due to the simplicity of the transmission. The development is not to change hands. Nematodes transmit to the person or eating unwashed vegetables, fruits. In particular, a large stick of this type, so-called disease of dirty hands, diagnosed in children. People live such representatives of jerk:

  1. Pinworms – small worms, which are grayish in color body length of 5-10 mm. It is localized in the intestines, because the disease enterobiasis. The infection occurs when the eggs enter the body through the mouth. 2 weeks worm goes through a cycle of development up to the adult individuals. These parasites live for 1-2 months, disrupting the normal functioning of the digestive tract, which is the exhaustion.
  2. Ascarids large worms that trigger the development of ascariasis. The length of the body is fusiform 20-40 cm They are parasites of the small intestine, but the development process to penetrate the liver, heart, lungs. Migrate through the body, the worms will not damage the internal organs and the channels. The life stage of the parasites 12-14 months. Infection of the negative impact on the health, which allergies, digestive disorders, internal bleeding, intestinal obstruction. The children's drug can cause developmental delays. The path of infection through unwashed hands, dirty food.
  3. Vlasoglavy – the worms are the body length of 3-5 cm, localized in the colon. The parasite attaches itself to the intestinal wall and absorbed by the blood. Cause trihozefalez. Very toxic to the parasite, so that a strong toxins in the body. The period of life up to 5 years. The whole time, to provoke the appetite, stool, anemia, abdominal pain. Can lead to of acute appendicitis, when the appendix.
  4. Trichinella worms, the length of which does not exceed 2 to 5 mm. Despite its small size, does not cause serious disease – another. The symptoms of fever, edema, Allergy, high temperature. May be infected, the meat, the pigs. These worms are striking, muscle tissue, often affects the muscles of the face, respiratory tract. After 3-4 weeks the larvae caught in the muscles, activate the capsule. The recovery occurs. But a severe infection can be fatal.
  5. Toxocara worm parasite in the body of the dog. Like ascari, but because it has the same fusiform body length 15-30 cm When the larvae enter the body in humans, there is a disease toxocariasis. The human body Toxocara can't develop to reproductively Mature, so the larvae migrate through the body, which damage to the internal organs, allergic and other diseases.
Beef tapeworm

The tapeworm

Among the most dangerous of the worms, which are the people, the main role of tape worms or cestodes. If we take into account the huge size, which can reach 18 m, it becomes obvious that adversely affect health. Cestodes are divided into tapeworms, tapeworm.

Director in the small intestine in humans after consumption of raw freshwater fish infected with the eggs of the worms. Cause severe abdominal pain, anemia, digestive disorders. This helminthiasisok, as in most cestodes, awesome appearance.
  2. Pork tapeworm – this worm enters the body, the consumption of infected pork. These 8-foot-long worms, parasites in the intestines, because of the development of teniasis, accompanied by severe gastric diseases, nervous system disorders, allergies.
  3. Beef tapeworm – the tapeworm species available size: 18 m. This is one of the most important human worms. This is caused by the development of the beef-tapeworm-infection leads to intestinal obstruction, physical, and nervous exhaustion. Being infected with this worm eating affected beef. The worm is localized in the small intestine.
  4. Echinococcus – a tape worm parasite in the bodies of cats, dogs. For humans, this is the parasite's intermediate host, but in spite of this, the worm larvae induce the development of very complex disease, parasitic infections. Worm eggs develop to the larval stage, which are embedded in the fabric body, and quickly form a cyst. The deletion is only possible surgically.
The parasites develop in the meat

Blight

Flukes, or trematodes – worms, the suction cups on the body surface. With their help, the worms dig into the walls of the internal organs, tissues, so eat, absorbs the nutrients, blood. The bodies, worms, flat form, the length can reach 1.5 m. Visually, they look like a piece of wood. The main source of infection of trematodes – ingestion of raw fish, seafood. The development process must be replaced 1-2 intermediate hosts. The main varieties of Blight, a parasite in the body of the people:

  1. Iecoris Dens – helminthiasisok, provoking the development of opisthorchiasis. Length of 7-20 mm. Affect the bile, liver, pancreatic ducts. The background of this parasite infection develops ulcer, cholecystitis, pancreatitis.
  2. Siberian Fluke – worm, length 8-13 mm, parasites of the gallbladder or in the sink. In the early stages of invasion there is a high temperature, pain in muscles, joints, stomach, the symptoms are less pronounced. This is evidence that the disease becomes chronic.
