Examples of parasitic nematodes?
Heartworm is an example of a parasitic nematode. Hookworms, pinworms, and trichina worm are also examples of parasitic nematodes. Parasitic nematodes affect plants as well, such as the pine wood nematode.
Where is a worms brain?
not exactly. worms, like most animals, depend on instinctive behavior rather than logic. worms do not wonder if the cooler soil to the left is richer and more nutritious for its health than that of the right side of the worm. instead the worm self navigates through the ground as it feeds on the nutrients from the ground. however parasites are dependent on its host for nutrients and survival, therefore if the host is unhealthy then the worm is unhealthy. parasitic worms do not have the instinctive options that humans and other types of worms do. parasitic worms primarily rely on its host.
What is some bacteria viruses parasites and fungi?

What is the microfilarial periodicity?
Microfilarial periodicity refers to the predictable patterns of appearance and disappearance of microfilariae (immature larvae of parasitic worms) in the blood. It can vary depending on the species of the parasite involved, with some being nocturnally periodic (active at night) and others being diurnally periodic (active during the day). Tracking this periodicity can aid in the diagnosis and treatment of parasitic infections.
What are some characteristics of parasitic worm?
A successful parasite can source all its needs from the host animal. A VERY successful parasite provides some benefits to its host so that there is real incentive to have a parasite. This is called symbiosis. Successful parasites should/must: Withstand the unfavorable condition, reproduce within the host, egg/cysts easy to leave outside host, locate new host, enter the host simply, and avoid killing the host.
What is a parasitic organism?
A parasitic organism is a life-form that can not sustain life without another living creature or plant. It often lack the ability to "digest" food and utilize a host by draining its nutrients. Some parasites do however digest food, they just use a host as food, eating away on the host or eating away on the food the host have eaten. Most if not all are defined as parasites because they can not live for long outside or away from a host of which is its feeding ground. A parasite is bad for a host because there are normally no benefits to the host from them.
What are facts about botflys?
Botflies are a type of parasitic fly known for their unique larval development. The female botfly lays her eggs on a host, often a mammal, and the larvae enter the host's skin, where they grow. This can lead to painful lesions and infections in the host. There are several species of botflies, with some being specific to certain animals, including humans, livestock, and pets.
What is a worms average length?
