In the liver of the host

During migration in the pulmonary circulation

Inside the host's intestine

In the soil outside the host (correct)

What is the route taken by the immature parasite after being swallowed?

What is responsible for causing 'verminous' pneumonia in Ascaris lumbricoides infection?

The larva feeding on parenchymal tissue in the liver

The larva penetrating the intestinal wall

The larva becoming stuck in an alveolar capillary (correct)

The larva migrating through the bronchi into the trachea

Study Notes

Ascaris lumbricoides Life Cycle

Embryonation of Ascaris lumbricoides eggs takes place in the soil.

Migration of Immature Parasite

After being swallowed, the immature parasite migrates through the wall of the small intestine, enters the bloodstream, and reaches the liver.
From the liver, it migrates to the heart, and then to the lungs.

Pathology of Ascaris lumbricoides Infection

The immature parasite's migration to the lungs causes 'verminous' pneumonia.
The most intense host reactions occur during the lung phase of the infection, characterized by eosinophilia and inflammation.

Completion of Life Cycle

After reaching the lumen of the small intestine for the second time, Ascaris lumbricoides matures and begins to produce eggs.
The eggs are then excreted in the feces, and the cycle repeats.
