Ascaris is a type of roundworm-nematode parasite that lives in the intestines of other organisms. The spread of worm eggs is carried out through the fecal-oral route and improper hygiene
Ascariasis is quite common in the inhabitants of tropical and subtropical regions, especially in unsatisfactory sanitary conditions.
Ascariasis does not spread directly from person to person. For this, a person must have contact with soil contaminated with faecal masses or water containing ascaris eggs. People can also get sick from undercooked pork or chicken, which may be infected with ascariasis. In young children, contamination can occur after contact with soil through dirty hands, unwashed fruits and vegetables.
The life cycle of a worm
The complete life cycle of a worm - from the egg to the adult period - takes about 2-3 months. Ascaris can live in the intestine for up to 2 years.
