TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Intestinal Nematodes A1 - Ryan, Kenneth J. PY - 2017 T2 - Sherris Medical Microbiology, 7e AB - OverviewNematodes are worms with bodies that are round in cross-section. They come in two broad categories: Intestinal nematodes (covered here) and tissue nematodes (covered in Chapter 55). The distinction between these groups may seem arbitrary, because some intestinal nematodes migrate through tissue on their way to the gut, and some tissue nematodes spend part of their lives in the intestines! However, the difference between the groups will be clear if you focus on whether the adult form spends its time chiefly in the intestines or in other body tissues.
