This nematode attaches itself to the intestinal villi by biting with fang-like teeth.

This nematode has a complicated life cycle that features a free living option and an autoinfective option in addition to its parasitic life cycle.

This nematode infection is often diagnosed by detecting rhabditiform larvae in the stool.

This female nematode is parthenogenic and burrows into the intestinal wall to lay eggs.

This larval nematode is the cause of visceral larval migrans. Name the genus and species.

This larval form of this nematode is the cause of cutaneous larval migrans or creeping nematodes. Name the genus and species.

This nematode infection is acquired by eating the raw or poorly cooked flesh of mammals. The larvae encyst in the muscle tissue of the human host. Name possible mammalian sources of this infection and name the genus and species of the parasite.

This filarial nematode is acquired by being bitten by mosquitoes.

This filarial nematode is acquired by being bitten by a fly. Adults migrate across the eyeball.

Scotch tape "touch preps" are used to diagnose infections with this parasite.

Eggs of this nematode are characteristically flattened on one side.

Females of this species of nematode migrate to the perianal reion, the uterus prolapses expelling all her eggs. The adult usually dies.

Enterobius vermicularis was named by Linnaeus in 1758. Apparently it has been a recognized problem for a very long time.

This nematode burrows into the intestinal lining. It can lay fertilized eggs which hatch and rhabditiform larvae are found in the stool.

This nematode can have a free-living life cycle where adults live in the soil.

This nematode has a complex life cycle that features free living adults in soil, direct penetration of human skin and parthenogenic females.
