| Ascaris is the most common nematode parasite of humans, infecting an estimated 1.47 billion individuals. Pathology can result from pneumonia caused by the worm`s migration through the lungs, blocking of the gastrointestinal track or the bile or pancreatic duct. Ascaris lumbricoides is physically indistinguishable from Ascaris suum.
