What Are the Different Types of Roundworms?
Roundworms are a type of parasite that ranges in size from microscopic to a meter in length and can cause a variety of symptoms in humans depending on the infection site. Roundworms and their eggs can gain access to the body through the skin or the mouth. Some roundworms live in animals, and humans become infected when eating poorly cooked meat or come in contact with animal feces. Infection is very common around the world, especially in warm tropical climates.
