Question

Name the insect that carries Ascaris lumbricoides.

Answer 1

Ascaris lumbricoides:

1. Ascaris lumbricoides, a human ascarid, cannot be transmitted by vectors, intermediate hosts, or insects. Fertilized eggs can live in soil for at least ten years after being put with feces. These fertilized eggs contain a one-cell embryo that splits into infectious larvae.
2. Entry of diseased eggs into new humans results in ascariasis. This can happen if infected dirt-covered hands or fingers are put in the mouth, or if you eat fruits or vegetables that haven't been carefully cooked, rinsed, or peeled.
3. A roundworm illness is called ascariasis. These worms are parasites that develop from larvae or eggs to adult worms by using your body as a host.
4. Worm eggs are deposited on the soil when an infected person defecates outside or when their feces are utilized as fertilizer.
5. The worm eggs can then develop into a parasitic form that can infect other people. Ingesting the worm eggs causes ascariasis.
6. Humans have the largest intestinal nematode, Ascaris lumbricoides. Females can grow up to 30 cm in length, while males are shorter. Fertilized, unfertilized, and decorticated eggs can all be found in feces.
