The human body can live in a variety of worms. The defeat of the parasites no one is immune, a review of the helminth is important information for everyone. Knowing the way of the attack and the peculiarities of parasitism of the different worms can significantly reduce the risk of infection. Consider the classification, the type of worms.
Shuttle
The most common form of worms are round worms. Their second name – nematodes. This group of parasites, the body whose cross section has a circular shape. Their length ranges from 5 mm to 40 cm, They settled mainly in the intestine, but can be localized to other organs, tissues.
The high prevalence of this parasite, because of the simplicity of the transfer. Development it does not need to change hands. Nematodes are transmitted from person to person or eating unwashed vegetables, fruits. Especially in large bot of this type, called the disease of dirty hands, diagnosed in children. People live such representatives of the nematode:
- Pinworms – small worms, which are a grayish body color with the length of 5-10 mm. Localized in the intestines, which cause the disease enterobiasis. Infection occurs when the eggs enter the body through the mouth. 2 weeks the worm will go through the cycle of development even in Mature individuals. These parasites live for 1-2 months, disrupting the normal functioning of the digestive system, leading to exhaustion.
- Ascarids are large worms that trigger the development of ascariasis. The length of their body fusiform 20-40 cm They are parasitic in the small intestine, but the development process to penetrate the liver, heart, and lungs. Wander through the body, the worms injure the internal organs and channels. During the life of the parasite is 12-14 months. Infection their negative effect on health, leading to allergies and digestive disorders, internal bleeding, bowel obstruction. In children, roundworm can cause developmental disorders. The path of infection through unwashed hands, dirty food.
- Vlasoglavy – worms, with a body length of 3-5 cm, localized in the colon. The parasite attaches to the intestinal wall and suck blood. Reasons trihozefalez. It is very toxic to the parasite, so it strongly poisons the body. Time life up to 5 years. All this time, he provoked his appetite and a stool, anemia, abdominal pain. Can lead to appendicitis, when placed in the cecum.
- Trichinella worms, which have a maximum length of 2-5 mm. Despite the small size, cause serious disease – trichinosis. Its symptoms include fever, edema, Allergy, high temperature. You can get infected via the meat, the pigs. These worms are striking muscle tissue, most often affects the muscles of the face and airway. After 3-4 weeks the larvae caught in the muscles, to change capsules. Recovery occurs. But massive infections can be fatal.
- Toxocara worms, parasites in the body of the dog. Like ascarid, because it is the same fusiform body, whose length is 15-30 cm, While the larvae on the body of the people, is a disease, toxocariasis. In the human body Toxocara can develop reproductively Mature, so their larvae migrate through the body, causing damage to internal organs, allergic and other disorders.
Tapeworms
The most dangerous worms, which are the people, the most important role has tape worms or cestodes. Given their enormous size, which can reach 18 m, it turns out, how they adversely affect health. Cestodes are divided into tapeworms and tapeworms. The whole life cycle they need to change the host. Consider a brief description of the more common members of the species:
- The tapeworm is a worm, whose length is 10-15 m, making the development of difillobotrioz. Settles in the small intestine, when the people had consumed raw freshwater fish infected by the eggs of worms. Cause severe abdominal pain, anemia, digestive disorders. This helminth, as with most cestodes, is a scary appearance.
- Pork tapeworm – this virus enters the body by ingestion of infected pork. These 8-foot long worms, parasites in the intestines, cause the development of teniasis, accompanied by severe stomach disorders, nervous system disorders, allergies.
- Beef tapeworm – tapeworm species reaches a size of 18 m. It is one of the most important human worms. It causes the development of beef tapeworm infection leads to intestinal obstruction, physical and nervous exhaustion. Get infected by this worm can be affected by eating beef. The worm is localized in the small intestine.
- Echinococcus – a tape worm parasite in the bodies of cats, dogs. People infected with this parasite's intermediate hosts, but in spite of this, the worm larvae cause the development of very complex disease echinococcosis. The worm eggs develop larvae, which is embedded in the fabric of any of the bodies and quickly form a cyst. Removal is possible only surgically.
Whale tail
Flukes or trematodes – a kind of worms with suction cups on the body surface. They allow the worms to dig the walls of internal organs, tissues, and so eat, absorbing the nutrients, blood. The bodies of these worms are of flat shape, the length can reach 1.5 m. Visually, they resemble a piece of wood. The main source of infection with trematodes – ingestion of undercooked fish, shellfish. In the development process they need to be replaced 1-2 intermediate hosts. The main varieties of flukes, parasites in the body of the people:
- Iecoris Dens – helminth, provokes the development of opisthorchiasis. Length is from 7 to 20 mm. Affect the bile, the liver and pancreatic ducts. The background of the infected by this parasite develop ulcers, cholecystitis, pancreatitis.
- Siberian Fluke – worm, length 8-13 mm, parasitic in the gall bladder and its ducts. The initial stage of the attack is high fever, pain in muscles, joints, stomach ailments, so the symptoms become less pronounced. This is evidence that the disease has become chronic.
