Whole blood with microfilaria worm, giemsa stain. L. loa worms have a simple structure consisting of a head (which lacks lips), a body, and a blunt tail. The outer body of the worm is composed of a cuticle with three main layers made up of collagen and other compounds which aid in protecting the nematodes while they are inside the digestive system of their host.
Elaeophora schneideri (arterial worm; carotid worm; cause of elaeophorosis, aka "filarial dermatitis" or "sorehead" in sheep; or "clear-eyed" blindness in elk) is a nematode which infests several mammalian hosts in North America. It is transmitted by horse-flies.
In the human host, Loa loa larvae migrate to the subcutaneous tissue, where they mature into adult worms in approximately one year, but sometimes up to four years. Adult worms migrate in the subcutaneous tissues at a speed of less than 1 cm/min, mating and producing more microfilariae. The adult worms can live up to 17 years in the human host. [5]
Films about worms, a term used for many different distantly related bilateral animals that typically have a long cylindrical tube-like body, no limbs, and no eyes (though not always). In biology, "worm" refers to an obsolete taxon , vermes , used by Carolus Linnaeus and Jean-Baptiste Lamarck for all non- arthropod invertebrate animals , now ...
Dracunculus medinensis (Guinea worm, dragon worm, fiery serpent [1]) is a nematode that causes dracunculiasis, also known as guinea worm disease. [2] The disease is caused by the female [ 3 ] which, at around 80 centimetres (31 inches) in length, [ 4 ] is among the longest nematodes infecting humans. [ 5 ]
Stem and bulb nematodes are migratory endoparasites and can be spread through irrigation water, tools, and animals. [16] When the plants are covered in a film of moisture, D. dipsaci can move upwards to new leaves and stems. They enter through stomata or wounds. [15] D. dipsaci feeds on the parenchymatous cells of the cortex once inside the ...
Nematodes are very small, slender worms. Most are free-living, often less than 2.5 mm long and some only about 1 mm. Many nematodes are microscopic. Some soil nematodes can reach up to 7 mm in length, and some marine species can reach up to 5 cm. Some are parasitic and can reach lengths of 50 cm or more. [42]
