I'm guessing your are looking for different kinds of worms.

There is the roundworm, the most common intestinal parasite in the world, affecting 1 in 3 people.

There is the hookworm (aka Pinworm) and is known for infecting its hosts by traveling via the dermis (skin)

There is the whipworm.

There is also the tapeworm. There are two different kinds of tapeworms, one is spread through infected fleas (dog or cat has fleas, bites to itch and ingest flea) and the kinds spread through rodents/infected meat.

And then there is also the Heartworm. A "worm" parasites carried by mosquitos and more commonly found in dogs (life threatening if left untreated), but can also be given to cats by the mosquito and is also life threatening..
