Animal Parasites
Animal parasites refer to the common parasites that afflict animals, such as worms, ticks, mites, lice, and fleas. Animal parasites come in two varieties, external and internal, and can be very troublesome for the animal, sometimes leading to severe illness or death. There are often treatment options for these parasites, but the best way avoid exposure is for animals to receive regular veterinary care.

The Filaria worms cause extreme swelling in the body- usually in legs, and sometimes in the genitals.
So many different kinds of parasites, both microscopic and macroscopic- and each has it's own complex life- cycles, hosts , and symptoms!
It's a rather gross but fascinating subject to study !
Many leeches have a proboscis used for swallowing the prey or for sucking its fluids; others have jaws for biting. Many parasitic leeches are able to parasitize a wide variety of hosts. Most of the marine and some of the freshwater leeches are fish parasites. The medicinal leech, Hirudo medicinalis, is one of a group of aquatic bloodsucking leeches with jaws. Another group of jawed bloodsuckers is terrestrial; these leeches live in damp tropical vegetation and drop onto their mammalian prey. Most parasitic leeches attach to the host only while feeding; a single meal may be 5 or 10 times the weight of the leech and provide it with food for several months. The digestive tract of bloodsuckers produces an anticoagulant, hirudin, which keeps the engorged blood from clotting. A few leeches attach permanently to the host, leaving only to reproduce.

How many genomes are in a roundworm?
The "Genome" refers to the collection of things you seem to be attempting to refer to, my undereducated friend. The genome is actually a name used to refer to every existent gene. Genes are a device used by the cells of your body to replicate themselves: an extensible information storage system. Basically, genes say, "Grow an arm here and at this time" and such things. They predetermine function and growth of the body. A "gene" is actually the name used to refer to the average strand of DNA, or a "zipped up" pair of chromosomes- which i believe you were attempting to refer to in the question. No one has the same genes: they are all different in everyone. When combined with information stored in the brain, the Nature that is DNA"maps out" the body and some aspects of the mind, if there's one there, of a person, other animal, plant, or microorganism. And to answer your question, The Roundworm has 2 chromosomes- or if you count them as pairs, 4.
