🪱Ascaris lumbricoides
L’ascaris lombricoïde (Ascaris lumbricoides) est un ver nématode (genre des ascarides) parasite intestinal qui provoque l’ascaridiose, maladie strictement humaine. C’est le plus grand des nématodes, et la plus fréquente des helminthiases, qui concernent l'homme. L’ascaris lombricoïde est cosmopolite mais est plus fréquent dans les zones tropicales et subtropicales ainsi que celles avec une hygiène inadéquate. « L'ascaris des chiens et des chats » appartient à d'autres ascarides (Toxocara canis chez le chien, Toxocara cati chez le chat), provoquant la toxocarose, qui peut aussi toucher l'homme.
