    ASCARIASIS

    Uploaded by

    mafegatdula
    Ascariasis is caused by a roundworm parasite and is the most common human infection caused by worms worldwide. It is transmitted through ingestion of contaminated food or raw vegetables and people can be infectious as long as the fertilized female worm lives in the intestine, usually up to 12 months. Symptoms may include vomiting, bloody sputum, coughing, fever, and worms exiting the nose or mouth.
