		Ascaris lumbricoides is one of the largest and most common parasites found in humans.
		Such a migration is not unique to Ascaris, as its close relatives undergo a similar migration in the bodies of their hosts (view diagram of the life cycle).
		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 Lumbricoides (Large Intestinal Roundworms) are common to the earthworm and range in length from 6-13 inches.
		Ascaris Lumbicoides causes a common infection called Ascariasis, which there are 1500 million cases worldwide.
		Ascaris Lumbicoides eggs are transmitted by human feces, typically from hand to mouth, although, some countries may use human feces as fertilizer.

		Ascaris lumbricoides belongs to a group of organisms called helminths, or worms.
		Ascaris eggs are resistant to chlorine, high and low pH, and UV irradiation.
		However, their removal efficiency in conventional wastewater treatment plants (primary sedimentation plus activated sludge) is often less than 90%; in fact, because the eggs are concentrated in the mixed liquor, there is a potential for discharging high concencentrations of eggs in secondary effluent if secondary clarification is disturbed.

		By studying the mitochondrial diversity from several populations of pig and human Ascaris, he concluded that there was little or no gene flow between the two populations of worms and he ruled out the hypothesis stating that Ascaris had a single transmission cycle in which humans and pigs are alternative hosts (Anderson 2001).
		For example, in the case of Ascaris, it is possible that the host shift occurred during the Neolithic because pigs started to be domesticated by human populations with a size and a density important enough to maintain sustained epidemics.

		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.
