Ascaris is a genus of parasitic nematode worms known as the giant intestinal roundworms. Ascaris lumbricoides is one of the largest and most common parasites found in humans. The adult females of this species can measure up to 18 inches long (males are generally shorter), and it is estimated that 25% of the world's population is infected with this nematode.
Classification in Phylum Nematoda. So, we've established that Ascaris is a genus of helminth. They belong to the Kingdom Animalia (just like us), and the Phylum Nematoda (from the Greek 'nematos' meaning 'thread'). Nematoda is the phylum containing all roundworm species. But, in spite of the fact that nematodes are 'roundworms', that does not mean that all worms that are round in shape are nematodes. The term nematoda actually refers, not to their body shape, but to their digestive tract, which is tube-like with tapered openings at either end.
