Helminths (), also commonly known as parasitic worms, are large multicellular parasites, which can generally be seen with the naked eye when they are mature. They are often referred to as intestinal worms even though not all helminths reside in the intestines. For example, schistosomes are not intestinal worms, but rather reside in blood vessels. The word helminth comes from ancient Greek ἕλμινς, hélmins, an intestinal worm. * There is no consensus on the taxonomy of helminths. It is simply a commonly used term to describe certain worms with some similarities. These are flatworms (platyhelminthes), namely cestodes (tapeworms) and trematodes (flukes), and roundworms or nemathelminths (nematodes) – both of these are parasitic worm types – and the annelida, which are not parasitic or at the most ectoparasites like the leeches.Helminths are worm-like organisms living in and feeding on living hosts. They receive nourishment and protection while disrupting their hosts' nutrient absorption. This can cause weakness and disease of the host. Those helminths that live inside the digestive tract are called intestinal parasites. They can live inside humans and other animals. In their adult form, helminths cannot multiply in humans. Helminths are able to survive in their mammalian hosts for many years due to their ability to manipulate the immune response by secreting immunomodulatory products. All helminths produce eggs (also called ova) for reproduction. These eggs have a strong shell that protects them against a range of environmental conditions. The eggs can therefore survive in the environment, outside their hosts, for many months or years. * Many, but not all, of the worms referred to as helminths belong to the group of intestinal parasites. An infection by a helminth is known as helminthiasis, helminth infection or intestinal worm infection. There is a naming convention which applies to all helminths: the ending "-asis" (or in veterinary science: "-osis") is added at the end of the name of the worm to denote the infection with that particular worm. For example, Ascaris is the name of a type of helminth, and ascariasis is the name of the infection caused by that helminth. |
