	US FDA/CFSAN - Bad Bug Book - Ascaris lumbricoides and Trichuris trichiura
		Humans worldwide are infected with Ascaris lumbricoides and Trichuris trichiura; the eggs of these roundworms (nematode) are "sticky" and may be carried to the mouth by hands, other body parts, fomites (inanimate objects), or foods.
		Ascariasis is also known commonly as the "large roundworm" infection and trichuriasis as "whip worm" infection.
		Both infections are diagnosed by finding the typical eggs in the patient's feces; on occasion the larval or adult worms are found in the feces or, especially for Ascaris sp., in the throat, mouth, or nose.

	Ascaris (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The infective stage of Ascaris, is the egg containing an L2 larva, which is ingested by the host and hatches in the duodenum.
		Secondary complications can arise with ascaris infections because sometimes, when the worms are undergoing this migration they appear to get lost and start wandering through other organs such as the brain, bile duct, pancreas or appendix.
		Ascaris proteins are very immunogenic and people can become very sensitive to the worm and have strong allergic reactions.

	TAPEWORM Ascaris killing parasites
		Ascaris lumbricoides is one of the largest and most common parasites found in humans.
		Ascaris is notorious for its reputation to migrate within the small intestine, and when a large worm begins to migrate there is not much that can stop it.
		Ascaris seems to be especially sensitive to anesthetics, and numerous cases have been documented where patients in surgical recovery rooms have had worms migrate from the small intestine, through the stomach, and out the patient's nose or mouth.

	Ascaris suum Nematode EST Project
		Ascaris suum has been the focus of research on the nematode neuromuscular system for over a century.
		One of its attractions is the ability to expose and measure electrophysiologically from and test neurotransmitters and drugs directly on nerves and muscles in situ and in isolated preparations.
		Ascaris adults are 15 cm long: this size will permit us to construct and sample from tissue-specific libraries.
