=== '''''ASCARIDIA'' Species''' ===
*Typical fleshy ascarids.
*Up to 12cm long.
*Produces a smooth-shelled ascarid egg.
*The life-cycle is typical, except that it is non-migratory (the newly-hatched larvae either stay in the intestine or spend a short time in the intestinal mucosa).
*Heavy infections reduce growth rates and egg-production.
*Occasionally, an aberrant worm enters the oviduct and is incorporated into an egg.
