Description: Ascaris worms. Photograph credited to the School of Aviation Medicine, Randolph Field, TX.

Ascaris worms are a group of parasitic nematode worms, also known as small intestinal roundworms. Their eggs are found in feces and soil and infect upon ingestion. In humans, infection causes ascariasis, which may present with no symptoms initially but may escalate to malnutrition, cognitive impairment, intestinal obstruction, and death if not treated.
