| − | + | Parasitic worms or helminths are eukaryotic parasites, which live inside the host unlike external parasites such as lice and fleas. They are worm-like organisms that live off their hosts. They obtain food and shelter there and lead to disturbance in the nutrient uptake of their host causing weakness and disease. Those who live inside the digestive tract are called intestinal parasites. They can live within humans as well as externally in some animals. | |

Parasitic worms or helminths are eukaryotic parasites, which live inside the host unlike external parasites such as lice and fleas. They are worm-like organisms that live off their hosts. They obtain food and shelter there and lead to disturbance in the nutrient uptake of their host causing weakness and disease. Those who live inside the digestive tract are called intestinal parasites. They can live within humans as well as externally in some animals.
