Roundworms

Microscopic images reveal the severe infestation of tapeworms and roundworms in cats, emphasizing the critical need for regular deworming.

The Ophidascaris robertsi roundworm was pulled from the 64-year-old woman after brain surgery, still alive and wriggling.

Five years ago, scientists found two roundworm species in the Siberian permafrost.

In an unusual case, a sewer worker in Spain had a roundworm infection so bad that doctors could see the larvae crawling under his skin.

When a woman in Japan went to doctors complaining of a sore throat, she was probably expecting some medication for a common cold. Instead, doctors found a live worm in her tonsils.

Lymphatic filariasis, also known as elephantiasis, is a parasitic disease caused by infection with roundworms of the family Filarioidea. As per WHO data, India contributes to 40% of the infection burden worldwide and LF is prevalent in 17 states across the country. India had set the ambitious target of eliminating filariasis by the year 2020, but e...

Scientists have uncovered biological pathways in the roundworm that provide an insight into how tiny bubbles released by cells can have beneficial or detrimental health effects.
