Describe the structure and life history of Ascaris lumbricoides?​

Answer»

Adult ascarids LIVE in the small intestines. Females produce 200 000 eggs per DAY. Eggs are deposited in the lumen, passed in FECES, and must embryonate for 3 weeks in the soil before becoming infectious. Ingestion of INFECTIVE eggs by another human from contaminated soil results in infection.
