An ascariasis is a disease of humans caused by the parasitic roundworm Ascaris lumbricoides in humans and other species of Ascaris in other mammals.
Ascaris is a genus of parasitic nematode worms. One species, A. suum, typically infects pigs, while another, A. lumbricoides, affects human populations, typically in sub-tropical and tropical areas with poor sanitation. A. lumbricoides is the largest intestinal roundworm and is the most common helminth infection of humans worldwide, an infection known as ascariasis. It belongs the kingdom anamalia,
Through contact with raccoon feces or items and ground that have been contaminated with roundworm feces. Roundworm eggs are extremely sticky and will adhere to skin or items and can be accidentally ingested.
Yes, you can contract an infection with Toxocara from dog feces. Toxocara is a species of roundworm and it causes serious health issues in humans each year. As the parasite migrates through the body of the aberrant host (humans) it damages the organs that is passes through--liver, eye and brain are typical sites for damage. This parasite's eggs can remain viable in the environment for 10 years or longer, so it is very important that dog feces (and cat feces) be cleaned up immediately to help prevent environmental contamination with the eggs of this roundworm. This is an extremely common parasite in puppies and is dangerous to the pup as well as to humans, thus the recommendations for frequent deworming starting as early as 2 weeks of age for puppies.
Tapeworm.. I think. To the person who answered tapeworm, it is definitely not the tapeworm, as the former is a flatworm and not a roundworm. The most common roundworm that infects humans is Ascaris lumbricoides. Other roundworms that are also highly distributed include Trichuris trichiura, and the hookworms (Ancylostoma duodenale, and Necator Americanus).
The Phylum Nematodes is home to large number of organisms. The hookworm, whipworm, and pinworms are very familiar to pet owners and can infect humans.
The larvae of the Baylisascaris procyonis roundworm, which can be contained in the feces of raccoons, can be transmitted to humans and pets and can be dangerous.
