Phylum Nematoda
Nematodes (from Greek nema a thread) are long, thin often threadlike “worms”.
The head is small and possesses only small sense organs and the overall appearance is of an organism that narrows at both ends.

Phylum Nematoda
The nematodes are quite species diverse (about 15,000 species.
Most nematodes are under 5cm and many are microscopic.
![Page 5: Nematodes](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020922/54847553b4af9fbf348b484e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Phylum Nematoda
Nematodes use their pseudocoelom as a hydrostatic skeleton. Fliud filled cavity
The body has a thick cuticle (made primarily of collagen) secreted by the underlying epidermis, which resists the high hydrostatic pressure exerted by the fluid in the pseudocoelom.
![Page 6: Nematodes](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020922/54847553b4af9fbf348b484e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Phylum Nematoda
Beneath the epidermis is a layer of longitudinal muscles.
Muscles in nematodes are not arranged in antagonistic pairs, the antagonistic role is played by the cuticle.
Contraction of a longitudinal muscle on one side is transmitted through the hydrostatic skeleton and stretches the cuticle on the opposite side of the body.
When the muscle relaxes, the cuticle contracts and the body returns to its resting position.
![Page 7: Nematodes](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020922/54847553b4af9fbf348b484e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Phylum Nematoda
Nematodes have a complete gut with a mouth, muscular pharynx, intestine, rectum, and anus.
Most nematodes males are smaller than females. Mail have tail.
Fertilization is internal and juveniles go through several developmental stages, each time molting or shedding their cuticle.

Free-living nematodes
Free-living nematodes live in the sea, in fresh water, and in the soil. They occur worldwide in all environments and most live in the interstitial spaces of sediments and soils.

Free-living nematodes
Most free-living nematodes are carnivorous.
However, some feed on algae and fungi ,plants, especially the roots.
![Page 11: Nematodes](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020922/54847553b4af9fbf348b484e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Free-living nematodes
Many root feeding nematodes are major agricultural pests. These species pierce root cells and suck out their contents.
Nematodes are estimated to destroy 12% of the world’s cash crops annually.

Parasitic nematodes
There are a great many species of parasitic nematodes and they attack virtually all groups of animals and plants.
Parasitic forms include ascarids, hookworms, Guinea worms, trichina worms, pinworms, and filarial worms.
![Page 13: Nematodes](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020922/54847553b4af9fbf348b484e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Ascaris lumbricoides: large roundworm of humans It’s estimated that worldwide as many
as 1.4 billion people are infected with Ascaris lumbricoides which lives in the small intestine.
Females may be a foot long and produce 200,000 eggs a day.
Infection occurs when parasite eggs are eaten with uncooked food or when soiled fingers are put into the mouth.
![Page 15: Nematodes](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020922/54847553b4af9fbf348b484e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
ascaris Disease: ASCARASIS Pathogensis and clinical findings: Larval migration is most lethal than
presence of worm in intestine. Mostly affect lungs. Inflammation with an eosinophilic

Ascaris lumbricoides: large roundworm of humans The ingestion of worm eggs via food
and water contaminated with human feces .these eggs hatch in small intestinal wall and travel through the blood stream to the lungs where they break out of the alveoli (often causing pneumonia).
Then they make their way up the trachea where they are swallowed and eventually settle in the small intestine.

Hookworms Nector (NEW WORLD) and ancylostoma Hookworms are named for the dorsal
curve in their anterior end. Hookworms are quite small, the
commonest species Necator americanus is only 11mm long. However, because they feed on blood a heavy infection can produce severe anemia.
![Page 24: Nematodes](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020922/54847553b4af9fbf348b484e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Hookworms
Large plates in the hookworm’s mouth are used to cut the intestinal lining of the host.
The parasite then pumps blood through its gut, partially digesting it before excreting it.
Because hookworms suck more blood than they use, they can cause debilitating anemia. In children a hookworm infection can stunt growth and cause a general lack of energy.

Hookworms
Hookworms do not permanently attach in one spot, but move around the gut and reattach when they are ready to feed.
Hookworms have evolved sophisticated anti-clotting factors that keep platelets from clumping and forming a clot while the hookworm is feeding.

Hookworms
The life cycle of hookworms is similar to that of ascarids.
Infection occurs after a larva hatches from an egg and penetrates the skin of a person. It then makes its way to the lungs where eventually it is coughed up and swallowed and travels to the intestines.
![Page 32: Nematodes](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020922/54847553b4af9fbf348b484e/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Guinea worms
Guinea worm infections (also referred to as Dracunculiasis) are now confined to sub-Saharan Africa.
Humans become infected when they drink water containing the crustaceans.
![Page 40: Nematodes](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020922/54847553b4af9fbf348b484e/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Guinea worms
The immature worm penetrates the gut wall and wanders through the body, maturing and growing.
After about a year the female makes her way to the surface of the skin (usually in the legs) causing very painful blistering.
![Page 41: Nematodes](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020922/54847553b4af9fbf348b484e/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Guinea worms
To ease the pain, sufferers immerse their feet in water. This bursts the blisters and the female worm then protrudes from the sore and lays her eggs, thus continuing the life cycle.
![Page 42: Nematodes](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020922/54847553b4af9fbf348b484e/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Guinea worms
There is no cure for Guinea worms and the only way to remove one is to slowly over the course of weeks wind the worm out on a stick.
If the worm breaks, a serious bacterial infection results.
![Page 43: Nematodes](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020922/54847553b4af9fbf348b484e/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

Interestingly, the traditional symbols for medicineand healing the staff of Asclepias (showing a snake entwined around a staff) and the caduceus(which shows two snakes entwined about a winged staff) very likely are derived from theGuinea worm removal technique.

Guinea worms
Guinea worm infection is avoidable with relatively simple precautions such as preventing people walking in drinking water sources and boiling or filtering water before drinking it.
![Page 46: Nematodes](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020922/54847553b4af9fbf348b484e/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Guinea worms
Since the mid 1980’s a campaign to eradicate Guinea worms coordinated by the U.N. and the Carter Center has had tremendous success.
In 1986, an estimated 3.5 million people were infected, but by 2000 the number of cases had been reduced to about 75,000 and by 2006 to 11,000.
![Page 47: Nematodes](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020922/54847553b4af9fbf348b484e/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Guinea worms
Guinea worms have been eliminated from Pakistan, India, and Iran and infections greatly reduced over much of sub-Saharan Africa.
The major barrier to elimination at this point is the ongoing conflict in southern Sudan where the majority of cases now occur.

Trichina worms
Trichinella spiralis is a tiny nematode that causes the potentially fatal disease trichinosis.
Humans typically become infected by eating undercooked pork. Trichinella lives in cysts formed in individual muscle cells of the host.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Trichinella_larv1_DPDx.JPG
![Page 51: Nematodes](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020922/54847553b4af9fbf348b484e/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Trichina worms
Trichinella when it hatches from an ingested cyst in its host’s gut drills through the wall of the gut where females produce living young.
These juveniles travels in the circulatory system to a muscle.
The juvenile penetrates an individual muscle cell and breaks the cell down so it can be remade.
![Page 52: Nematodes](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020922/54847553b4af9fbf348b484e/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Trichina worms
Trichinella, just as a virus does, manipulates the host cell’s DNA. It causes the cell to recruit a blood supply to supply food to the cell and also produce collagen to form a cyst around the cell.
The Trichinella juvenile awaits ingestion by another host. When ingested it emerges from its cysts enters the mucosal lining of gut, develops into an adult and continues the life cycle.

Trichina worms
Adults usually do not persist long in the gut before being expelled by the host’s immune system.
Trichinella occurs commonly in wild animals such as foxes, wolves and bears. Smaller mammals such as skunks, raccoons and rats, which commonly associate with people, are the main sources of domestic pig infections.

Trichina worms
Pigs may become infected by eating fecal matter or the bodies of animals infected with the parasite. Humans are an inadvertent host of Trichinella.
In humans, infection with a few Trichinella parasites may cause no symptoms, but heavy infections can cause intense muscle pain and in some cases death.
