Study Notes

  • Nematodes are also known as roundworms, have a cylindrical structure and a body cavity, and are unsegmented.
  • They possess a complete alimentary canal.

Alimentary Canal

  • Has lips bearing sensory papillae that surround the mouth; some species have teeth
  • Leads into a buccal cavity
  • Esophagus pumps food into the intestine using a muscular structure
  • Intestine is a tubular structure ending with the anus.
  • They exhibit separate sexes, with males generally smaller than females.
  • Adult nematodes can inhabit the small or large intestine, or tissues.
  • Eggs are non-operculated and can be mature or immature.
  • Mostly, eggs are supposed to pass to the soil.
  • Some nematodes produce larvae instead of eggs; Trichinella spiralis
  • Larval stages include rhabditiform and filariform larva
  • Each larval stage is followed by a molt.
  • Some nematodes need an arthropod vector or animal host, while some develop without an intermediate host.
  • Nematode eggs are non-operculated, and can be mature or immature
  • Nematodes need an arthropod vector or animal host, or no intermediate host
  • Small intestinal nematodes include Ascaris lumbricoides, hookworms, Strongyloides stercoralis, and Trichinella spiralis.
