What is the host for roundworms?
Many roundworms have a complicated life cycle that includes both main hosts (large mammals such as humans or pigs) and intermediate hosts (small animals such as snails). Therefore, some roundworm infections occur as a result of eating uncooked contaminated food. The eggs may survive for years in moist soil.
Where do roundworms grow?
They live and grow inside the intestine of your pet. Roundworms* and hookworms develop from eggs into larvae (immature worms). The larvae later grow into adult worms. Most pets show no signs of infection with these worms, but some may vomit, stop eating their food, or lose weight.
In which type of habitat are most free living roundworms found?
Free-living roundworms are found mainly in freshwater habitats. Parasitic roundworms have a variety of hosts, including humans.
Where are worms most likely to be found?
Earthworms and their relatives live anywhere there is moist soil and dead plant material. Earthworms are most abundant in rainy forest areas, but can be found in many habitats on land and in freshwater. All earthworm species need moist soil conditions to survive.
