 Round worms are a type of parasitic invertebrates. Round worms are mostly internal parasite of different mammals like human being. As its name , its body is round or cylindrical and long. Body length of an adult may range from 10 to 30 cm. It is infectious and lives in the intestine and sucks body fluids from its wall. It has remarkably high reproductive power.

If there is open defecation by an infected individual or any other means of spreading eggs of the worm, the eggs can contaminate soil , vegetables, fruits and water resources due to such contamination, there is high chance of entry of the eggs in our stomatch with food or water. The egggs ate hatched inside his alimentary canal due to favourable temperature and environment within the canal. They grow rapidly and reproduce abundantly.  They suck blood and body fluids from the internal wall of intestine.  Such activity makes the host person affected badly.
