Parasite: An Animal or Plant That Lives in or On A Host (Another Animal or Plant) It Obtains

The document discusses different types of parasites that can infect humans, including pinworms, roundworms, tapeworms, and hookworms. It provides details on the lifecycles and characteristics of each parasite. The pinworm enters the body by swallowing eggs and can cause itchy irritation around the anus. Roundworms are ingested through contaminated food and migrate through organs before maturing in the intestines. Tapeworms are consumed by eating infected meat and attach to the intestines. Hookworms burrow into the intestines and feed on blood. Herbal treatments including wormwood and black walnut are described as effective natural remedies for eliminating parasites.

Parasite: 

an animal or plant that lives in or on a host (another animal or plant); it obtains


nourishment from the host without benefiting or killing the host)

So really this article should be named “The Truth About Worms”. The fact is that a worm is a
parasite by definition. There are several different worms or parasites that have been discovered.
Some of them can only have human hosts and other parasites can live on human hosts or
domestic animal hosts. The most common parasites live in the intestinal tract, namely pinworms,
tapeworms, and roundworms. Then there are ringworms that exist just below the skin and
manifest their presence by creating a hardened patch of skin that has a red scaly appearance in
the shape of a ring.

The three most common types of worms found in the body are: the threadworm, pin worm or
seat worm (Oxyurix vermicularis), the roundworm (Ascares lumbricoides–lumbrici), and the
tapeworm (Bothriocephalus latus or Diphyllobothrium latum). There are other less-common
worm types that enter the body, such as hookworms (Ancylostoma duodenal, Nectar
Americanus) and a parasite that occurs in the intestines of pigs and rats and human beings
(Trichinella spiralis).  This parasite produces larvae that forms cysts in skeletal muscles, it
thrives on filthy, unsanitary living conditions like pig sties.

PINWORM, SEAT WORM OR THREADWORMOXYURIX VERMICULARIS;


The pin worm, seat worm or threadworm gets its name from its size and shape Thread worms are
tiny worms. They are about 1 cm in length, and look like white cotton threads. Thread worms
enter the body by swallowing the eggs. At this point a cycle starts that is very difficult to stop.
Once the eggs enter the digestive tract they incubate and become mature adult worms.  Their
place of residence is in the bowel. The female worms pop out of the anus at night, and lay their
eggs on the skin around the anus. This causes an itchy irritation and naturally would be scratched
during sleep. The freshly laid eggs are then picked up on fingers, and can be transferred back to
the mouth and swallowed again. Once safely inside the body, they develop into adults, and start
laying more eggs. Eggs on the fingers can be spread to other members of the family, or to close
friends. They can also drop off, and become part of general household dust.

ROUNDWORM
The intestinal roundworm Ascaris lumbricoides infects humans when contaminated food is
consumed. Ascaris eggs are lodged on certain foods that have been grown in warm moist soil
that supports the eggs. The Ascaris eggs can be deposited in the soil with fertilizers that use fecal
matter.  Once in the small intestine the larvae are liberated and migrate through the intestinal
wall, reaching the lungs, where they will stay for approximately 10 days for incubation.
Symptoms may include; lung inflammation and fluid retention. About the 10 day incubation
period, the larvae pass from the respiratory passages into the digestive tract and mature into egg-
producing worms, which grow to some 6 to 16 inches in length, in the small intestine. Serious,
even fatal, complications of ascariasis result from the infiltration of the larvae into sensitive
tissues, such as the brain, and from the migration of the adult worms into various body structures
where they produce abscesses and toxic manifestations. Ascariasis exists worldwide and is
believed to affect some 660 million persons.

Actual Tapeworm

TAPEWORM
Bothriocephalus latus or Diphyllobothrium latum; tapeworms are a group of segmented
flatworms who find their homes in the intestinal tracts of a wide variety of hosts ranging from
humans to bottom feeding fish, shrimp, lobsters and crabs. Humans usually come across the
parasite by eating the meat from an infected animal, like beef, pork, or fish. The parasite itself
ranges from a few centimeters to as many as sixty feet long, depending upon the variety, and
survives on any food or nutrition ingested by the host. A tapeworm makes its home on the
internal wall of the digestive tract, its hooked head buried into the intestinal tissue. Tapeworms
pre-fertilize their eggs and release them into the feces of the host. Then the eggs will lay dormant
until they are consumed by another animal. The eggs can be in the grasses of the fields that are
grazed by cattle or the can be in the organic material that bottom feeding fish consume. The  life
cycle of the tapeworm almost always requires at least two hosts, with the adult taking residence
in a host like a human, pig or a cow. The eggs released by the adult worm in the tract of a final
host, find their way to soil or water and lie dormant until ingested by their intermediate host. It is
in this host that they hatch into their worm-like larval form, called an oncosphere. From here the
oconospheres break the intestinal barrier and enter the circulation, where they find their way to a
mass of skeletal muscle tissue, where they form cysts. The cycle then continues when a human or
another animal host ingests the cyst that the larvae produced in the muscle tissue of an infected
animal. Thorough cooking kills tapeworms and their cysts, however, and most meat in developed
countries is irradiated or otherwise treated to help prevent transmission of the disease. Raw fish,
such as that used in sushi or sashimi, very rare beef or pork are all high-risk foods, as the cyst
will escape the preparation process unharmed.

HOOKWORM
New research shows that parasites not only control the behavior of their hosts, they can change
entire ecosystems to suit their needs. As an example, “hookworms, another common species,
sink their teeth into the intestinal walls of more than a billion people every day to drink their fill
of blood.” According to the World Health Organization, 3.5 billion people suffer from some type
of parasitic infection. Not all of these people live in third world countries; many in the developed
world have any number of parasitic infections, some of which are so highly contagious that
extremely casual contact with something that has been handled by an infected person can infect
another person. Colon therapists report nearly 100% infection rate as they witness firsthand these
human parasites in the colon and the bowel during colon therapy. Parasites live mostly in a toxic
bowel. However, parasites can be found in almost any part of the body. There are an incredible
500,000 species of worms in this world living is soils and hosts. Parasites are delivered to their
hosts through systemic infestation in plants, consumption of infected meats, drinking unsanitary
water and even bug bite like mosquitoes. Symptoms may vary depending on the type and amount
of infestation from a minor itch to a manifestation of scaly red irritated skin and from a low
tolerance to disease to low energy from apparent mal nutrition. The worms may go undetected
for years with no apparent symptoms, or they may be seen in the stool almost immediately. No
matter what the case is parasites and worms can adversely affect your life and an infection needs
to be taken care of.

Pinworms Overview
Pinworm (Enterobius vermicularis) infections are extremely common. Occurring world wide, it
is estimated that there are more than 40 million cases in the United States each year, making it
the most common worm infection in America. Although any individual may develop a case of
pinworms, the infection occurs most frequently in school children between 5 to 10 years of age.
Pinworm infections occur in all socioeconomic groups; however, human-to-human spread is
favored by close, crowded living conditions. Spread among family members is common.
Animals do not harbor pinworms - humans are the only natural host for this parasite.

The most common symptom of pinworms is an itchy rectal area. Symptoms are worse at night
when the female worms are most active and crawl out of the anus to deposit their eggs. Although
pinworm infections can be annoying, they rarely cause serious health problems and are usually
not dangerous. Therapy with routine prescription medications provides an effective cure in
almost all cases.
Pinworms Causes
The very simple life cycle of E. vermicularisensures a high human prevalence. Tiny eggs
deposited around the anus by a female worm spread the infection. Each female worm can
produce more than 10,000 eggs during her lifespan. When someone with pinworms scratches
their perianal area, eggs may lodge under their fingernails and be spread to anything he or she
touches. Infested dust, clothing, bedding, or toys can also spread eggs. When someone else
accidentally ingests these eggs, they also become infected.

Over the next several weeks, newly ingested eggs hatch and mature into adult worms. The new
worms migrate to the junction between the small and large intestine. Following further
maturation, the newly "pregnant" worm migrates from this region to the rectum. From here she
will make the trip to the anal area (commonly at night) and deposit her eggs. The life cycle has
now come full circle. Adult females live for approximately three months in their human host.
Their eggs may die within one to two days in a warm and dry environment; however cool and
humid conditions will allow their survival for up to two weeks.

Pinworms Symptoms
Many people have pinworms and don't have any symptoms at all.

 The most common symptom of pinworms is itching around the anus. It is worse at night
when the female worm deposits her eggs on the person infected. This can lead to difficulty
getting a good night's sleep. This intense itching is felt to be due to an inflammatory response
to the adult worm and her eggs in the perianal tissue. If severe scratching occurs, the skin may
break down and allow development of a secondary bacterial infection.
 Pinworms can rarely migrate into the vagina or urinary tract causing irritation in these
regions. Intense itching is again the prominent complaint. This location of infection is less
common than the perianal region, and the infection usually goes away on its own. Case
reports of E. vermicularis migration into the internal female reproductive tract have been
reported. These infections are very rare.
 Pinworms do not cause abdominal pain, bloody bowel movements, fevers, or poor
appetite. If the person has any of these signs or symptoms, they may have a more serious
condition and should call a doctor or visit the hospital's emergency department. Adult
pinworms have been found in inflamed appendices removed at operation; however, whether
the pinworm infection was the cause of appendicitis is controversial.
