Definition
Plural of ascarid; large parasitic roundworms that live in the intestines of humans and animals, causing infection and digestive problems.
Etymology
From Latin 'ascaris' (borrowed from Greek), originally referring to intestinal worms. The term has been used in medical terminology since ancient times, appearing in Greek medical texts describing parasitic infections.
Kelly Says
Ascaris lumbricoides is one of the most common human parasites on Earth—it infects over 800 million people, particularly in areas with poor sanitation, making it arguably more successful at colonizing human bodies than any other worm species.
