Pneumonia doesn't occur in all those infected with ascariasis. The infection occurs through ingestion of food contaminated with feces containing Ascaris eggs. The larvae hatch, burrow through the intestine, reach the lungs, and finally migrate up the respiratory tract. As larval stages travel through the body, they may cause visceral damage, peritonitis and inflammation, enlargement of the liver or spleen, toxicity, and pneumonia.

Yes, Ascaris worms are sexual organisms, meaning they reproduce sexually through the fertilization of eggs by sperm. This occurs in the intestines of the host where adult male and female worms produce fertilized eggs that are then passed out of the host's body through feces.
This would be a hook worm.

When exposed to anesthetics, such as halothane or isoflurane, Ascaris lumbricoides, which are parasitic roundworms, undergo a reversible relaxation of their muscles. This causes a temporary paralysis or immobilization of the worms. However, once the effect of the anesthetic wears off, the worms regain their normal mobility and activity.
Ascarids (round worms) are generally parasitic (so not really marine or fresh water) and worms are either male or female.
Ascaris infection, also known as ascariasis, is a type of parasitic infection caused by the roundworm Ascaris lumbricoides. It commonly occurs in areas with poor sanitation and hygiene. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, diarrhea, and malnutrition. Treatment usually involves medication to eliminate the worms from the body.
The nematodes (round worms) that have a lung phase are Ascaris lubricoides, Necator americanus, and Strongyloides stercoralis
