The portal of entry for a parasitic worm varies depending on the species. Common entry routes include ingestion through contaminated food or water, penetration through the skin, or via insect bites. For example, hookworms can enter through the skin, while tapeworms typically enter through the digestive tract after consuming infected meat. Understanding these entry points is crucial for preventing infections and implementing control measures.
