Parasitic nematodes are also known as Roundworm. They have unsegmented bodies narrowing at each end and are parasites of plants and animals such as eelworms, pinworms and hookworms and can occur in rats, pigs and humans

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.

A NEMATODE is a " round worm " . The vast majority are parasitic and microscopic or nearly microscopic .
Pinworms belong to the Nematode group of worms.
A nematode is a roundworm of the phylum Nematoda. They are microscopic in size, and usually parasitic, burrowing into plant or animal tissue and sticking out the contents of the cells, resulting in considerable damage.
Yes, the hookworm is a parasitic nematode that infects the small intestine of humans and other mammals. It feeds on blood and can cause health issues such as anemia and malnutrition.
A plant-parasitic nematode is a microscopic, worm-like organism that primarily feeds on the roots and tissues of plants. These nematodes can cause significant agricultural damage by disrupting nutrient and water uptake, leading to reduced crop yields and plant health. They often enter plants through root wounds or natural openings, and some species can also transmit plant viruses. Effective management of these pests is crucial for sustainable agriculture.
They are cold blooded organisms.
Any of several worms of the phylum Nematoda, having unsegmented, cylindrical bodies, often narrowing at each end, and including parasitic forms such as the hookworm and pinworm. Also called roundworm.
Schistosoma is not a nematode, is a genus of Trematode under Phylum Platyhelminthes meaning the flatworms, nematode are round unsegmented worms.
A parasitic plant worm is a type of worm that attaches itself to the roots of plants, extracting nutrients and water from the host plant. This can weaken the host plant and affect its growth and overall health. Controlling the population of parasitic plant worms often involves using biological controls or applying targeted pesticides.
