Nematode - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Transmission:-
        Ingestion of fertilization embryonated eggs with uncooked vegetables( especially from gardens or farm where human stool is used as fertilizer) contaminated drink water.
        Flies and paper money may rarely disseminated embryonated eggs
      - Diseases:-
        Ascariasis
      - Habitat:-
        Adult worms inhabit the small intestine (jejunum & illeum)
      - Sign & Symptoms:-
        
        Asymptomatic: 10-20 worms: stool examination is positive in most cases in eggs
        
        Common symptom: Vague abdominal pain
        
        Pulmonary stage symptoms: During migration of Larvae through alveoli.
        
        Brief period of fever, cough, wheezing, dyspnea & sub-sternal discomfort, sometimes rash develop on skin.
        
        Intestinal symptom: due to presence of adult worms in intestine.
        
        Ectopic Ascariasis
      - Host:-
        Human & Swine
      - Prevention:-
        
        Avoid ingesting soil that may be contaminated with human or pig feces, including where human fecal matter (“night soil”), wastewater, or pig manure is used to fertilize crops.
        
        Wash your hands with soap and water before handling food.
        
        Wash your hands with soap and water after touching or handling pigs, cleaning pig pens, or handling pig manure.
        
        Teach children the importance of washing hands to prevent infection.
        
        Supervise children around pigs, ensuring that they do not put unwashed hands in their mouths.
        
        Wash, peel, or cook all raw vegetables and fruits before eating, particularly those that have been grown in soil that has been fertilized with manure.
        
        Transmission of Ascaris lumbricoides infection to others in a community setting can be prevented by:
        
        Not defecating outdoors.
        
        Effective sewage disposal systems.
      - Link Title
    - - Method of transmission: transmitted primarily by walking barefoot on contaminated soil. One kind of hookworm (Ancylostoma duodenale)can also be transmitted through the ingestion of larvae.
      - Disease:
        -itchy rash
        -respiratory
        -gastrointestinal problems
        -iron deficiency anemia due to ongoing loss of blood.
      - Habitat: areas with moist, warm climates where larvae can survive in the environment
      - Sign & Symptom: Itching and a localized rash are often the first signs of infection. A person with a heavy infection may experience abdominal pain, diarrhea, loss of appetite, weight loss, fatigue and anemia.
      - Prevention: not to walk barefoot in areas where hookworm is common and where there may be human fecal contamination of the soil. Also, avoid other skin contact with such soil and avoid ingesting it.
