In the human body can live different types of worms. The defeat of the parasites that no one is safe, the general information about helminth are important information for each one. Know the path of the invasion and the characteristics of parasitic different of worms, can considerably reduce the risk of infection. Let's look at the classification of the species of worms.
Nematodes
More than what people realize the worms are round worms. Another name of the c. elegans. It is a group of parasites, the body which in cross section has a circular shape. Its length varies from 5 mm to 40 see That settle mainly in the intestine, but can has and in other organs, tissues.
The higher prevalence of this parasite due to the simplicity of the transmission. For the development of he, it is not necessary to change your teacher. Nematodes are spread from person-to-person or through the consumption of unwashed vegetables, fruits. Especially massively helminthiasis of this type, known as the disease of dirty hands, it is diagnosed in children. In human beings were established as the representatives of nematode:
- Ostritsy small worms have the body of a grayish color of between 5 and 10 mm were Located in the intestine that cause the disease enterobiasis. The infection occurs when the eggs enter the body through the mouth. 2 weeks of worm passes through a cycle of development until the Mature of the species. Live these parasites 1-2 months, altering the normal functioning of the digestive tract, leading to malnutrition.
- Ascaride – large worms, the promoters of development living with roundworms. The length of its fusiform body form is a 20-40 view That parasites of the small intestine, however, in the process of development, penetrate the liver, the heart and the lungs. Migrating for the body, the worms can cause damage to internal organs and ducts. The period of life of the parasites from 12 to 14 months. The infection of them adversely affects the health, it leads to suffer from allergies, digestive disorders, bleeding, bowel obstruction. Children ascaride can cause a delay in the development. The route of infection is through unwashed hands, dirty of the products.
- Vlasoglavy – worms with body length of 3-5 cm, localized in the colon. The parasite sticks to the wall of the intestine and is absorbed into the blood. Called trihozefalez. It is very toxic parasite, that is why it is so poisons the body. The period of life of up to 5 years. During all the time that causes problems with the appetite and the chair, the anemia, pains in the belly. Can lead to sharp in the appendix, when it enters into the blind gut.
- Trichinella– worms, whose length does not exceed 2 to 5 mm, Despite the small dimensions, cause a severe disease – trihinellez. Its symptoms are fever, swelling, allergy, high temperature. People can become infected through meat, pork. These worms affect the muscle tissues, in particular, frequently suffer from the muscles of the face and airways. After 3-4 weeks, the larvae reach the muscles, it is converted into the capsule. Recovery begins. But in the mass of the infection is possible to the death.
- Toxocara worm, parasitic in the body of the dogs. It is similar to the ascaride, since they have the same fusiform body length 15-30 see When the larvae enter in the body of the people, arises the disease toxocariasis. In the human body due to Toxocara may not evolve until the Mature of the species, so that their larvae migrate through the body, causing damage to the internal organs, allergies, and other disorders.
Tapeworms
Among the most dangerous of the worms, of which there are in man, the main role is occupied by tape worms or cestodes. If we take into account its massive size, which can reach up to 18 m, it becomes evident, in the measure of negative affect to health. Cestodes are divided into tapeworms and tapeworms. To complete the entire cycle of life in need of a master. Let's look at a brief description of the most common representatives of the species:
- The choice of lentets – worm of the length of 10-15 m, causing the development of the difillobotrioz. Establishes in the department of the intestine after a person has ingested raw freshwater fish, contaminated with the eggs of worms. Causes a sharp pain in the stomach, anemia, disorders of the digestion. This helminth, as the majority of cestodes, has an impressive aspect.
- Swine tsepen worm that enters the body as a result of the ingestion of pork contaminated. These 8-meter worms that live as a parasite in the intestine, causing the development of taeniasis, accompanied by strong disorders of the stomach, nervous dysfunction, allergy.
- Bullish tsepen – the variety of tapeworms that reached dimensions of 18 m. It is one of the greatest men of the worms. It's called development of beef tapeworm infection, leading to intestinal obstruction, the physical integrity and the failure of nervous exhaustion. Becoming infected with this worm may eat the flesh of cow affected. It locates the worm in the small intestine.
- Echinococcus is the tapeworm, parasitic in the bodies of cats, of dogs. The people of this parasite are intermediate of its owner, but despite this, the larvae of the worm result in a highly complex development of the disease it transmits. The worm eggs develop to the stage of larva, which is embedded in the tissue of all the organs and quickly enough to form cysts. Removing them is possible only with surgery.
Flounder infest
Flounder infest or trematody – the variety of worms with suction cups at the surface of the body. With your help, the worms dig in the walls of internal organs, tissues, and so they feed by absorption of nutrients from the blood. The body of these worms have a flat shape, the length can reach 1.5 m Visually similar to a tree leaf. The main source of infection trematodes – the consumption of badly cooked fish, shellfish. In the process of development had to change 1-2 intermediate owners. The main varieties of flounder infest infest in the body of the people:
- Iecoris Dens – helminth, lead to the development of opisthorchiasis. Length ranges from 7 to 20 mm Surprised biliary, hepatic and pancreatic ducts. At the bottom of the infection by this parasite develops an ulcer, cholecystitis, pancreatitis.
- Anthrax Fluke – worm of the length of 8-13 mm, parasitic in the gall bladder, as well as your ducts. In the early stages of the invasion produces high fever, muscle pain, joint, stomach upset, then the symptoms are less intense. It is a witness that has passed the disease into a chronic stage.
Treatment – medications of all species of worms
To destroy the worms, you must have the deworming drugs. But, for a start, you should establish what kind of helmintiasisa smote the body. On the basis of the results of the diagnostic form of the medications. Are divided into 2 types:
- strait appointed for the destruction of several species of helminths;
- Omni-directional – are considered universal, as it destroyed almost all the varieties of worms, are suitable for the prevention of the worm invasion.
The scheme of reception, as well as the duration of the treatment with the tablets should determine the specialist, since the de-worming means many contraindications and side effects.
In addition, during the therapy, you can use popular recipes. Many plants have de-worming properties – garlic, onion, pumpkin seeds, herbs, spices, ginger. At its base are preparing the deworming infusions, decoctions, and other media, with the use that will help you to clean the body.
The defeat of any of the species of earthworms leads to huge health problems. Taking into account the risk, it is important to adopt prevention measures help to reduce the risk of invasion. To do this, simply follow the rules of hygiene, eating meat and fish, just complete the heat treatment, and washing fruits and vegetables.
At the first sign of infection, see a doctor. The less time worms live in the body, so that it is easier to get rid of the consequences of parasitic.
