Special Characteristic
2
Pseudocoelomates – very little cavity but improved over acoelomates
1. greater freedom of movement2. space for development of organ systems3. a simple circulatory system4. storage for wastes5. hydrostatic organ

Habitats of Nematodes
• Found everywhere-free-living and parasitic– Moist Soil– Oceans (Deep Marine)– Polar ice caps– Hot springs– Parasites of nearly all plant
and animal species!– Parasites of nearly every
body or organ system

Two Classes of Nematodes
Class Phasmidia
• All worms in this group have PHASMIDS which are a type of sensory structure found in the posterior end of these worms.
Class Aphasmidia
• Worms in this group have no phasmids or they are VERY REDUCED in size.
7
Integumentary System
• Cylindrical in Shape with Hollow pseudocoel
• High osmotic pressure within
• Thick cuticle is secreted by epidermis and allows the Nematodes to live so many places.
8
Digestive System• Straight tube that lacks
muscles except at mouth, pharynx and rectum(anus)
• Some are carnivorous and have well developed jaws and teeth
• Some are scavengers, parasites or bacteria feeders with simple mouthparts
9
Circulation and Gas Exchange
• Gas and food move around inside by body movements
• Diffusion is how gas and food move throughout
10
Nervous System
• Dorsal, Lateral, Ventral Cords leading from a central ganglia nerve center
• Setae and papillae are mechanical sense receptors
• Amphids are chemical sensory receptors(Usually found in the head region)
11
12
Dorsal and Ventral Nerve Cords

Reproduction of Nematodes
Separate Sexes = Dioecious
Reproduction
• No larval stages
• Juveniles are small and sexually immature
• Four stages to get from young to adult
• Molt 4 times = shed cuticle
• Internal fertilization – females lay eggs or give birth to juveniles

Nematode Reproductive Systems
Class Phasmidia
• GENERAL INFO– Free-living in freshwater or soil/parasitic– Many aid in aerating soil– Males smaller/females curved posterior– Many feed on crops and plants (pests)
16
Phasmid Examples
1. Ascaris lumbricoides
2. Necator americanus
3. Enterobius vermicularia
4. Filarial worms
5. Caenorhabitis elegans (C. elegans)
17
18
Ascaris lumbricoides
• Intestinal roundworm of man• 1.2 billion people worldwide,
– 64% of people in Southeastern US– Extensively studied in research
• Females lay 200,000 eggs a day• Found in unsanitary habitats and eating
uncooked veggies• Infection highest in children – especially eating
dirt• Rarely fatal, but can be if intestine blocked

Life Cycle of Ascaris Lumbricoides
20
Hookworms• Anterior end hooks• Examples ARE• Necator americanus• Ancylostoma duodenale
& caninum• Feed on blood/burrow
through skin• Cause anemia or protein
deficiencies• Common in tropical
regions warm moist soil

Ancylostoma caninum
23
Cutaneous Larval Migrans
• Hookworms from dogs and cats
24
Enterobius vermicularis
“Pin worm”•Most common infection in U.S.
30% children,
16% adults,
30% college students•Spread
– Fecal oral route – irritation of anus when lay eggs, rub off on sheets
– Airborne eggs infective within 6 hours– Worms mature and live in large intestine– Diagnosis by Scotch Tape Method

Filarial Worms
• Blood and Lymph Parasites
• Block lymph passageways = Elephantitis
• Females release live young “microfilariae” that are spread by mosquitoes or other insects
Examples:•Diorofilaria immitis•Wucheria bancrofti•Brugia•Loa loa•Dracunculus medinesis
26
27
Dirofilaria immitis
• Dog heart worm
28
29
Wuchereria bancrofti
• Lives in lymphatic system
• Obstruct lymph to cause swelling– Elephantiasis

32
Loa loa• Eye worm
33
34
Dracunculus medinesis• Fiery serpent
35
36
Caenorhabditis elegans• Free living nematode• Eutely
– Constant number of cells
• 959 cells– Development of every
cell is known
• Genome sequenced• Compare genomes
37
Nobel Prize for Worms
• Sydney Brenner– C. elegans since 1963
• Brenner, Sulston and Horwite awarded Nobel Prize in 2002
38
Class AphasmidiaTrichinella spiralis
• Trichina worm• Freshwater and marine
environments• Carnivores like: Pigs,
bear, dogs, cats, rats and man
• Trichinosis (raw meat)– Encysts in muscles
causes cells to LOSE striations that become nurse cells for the worm.
