From HandWiki

The Ascarididae are a family of the large intestinal roundworms. Members of the family are intestinal parasites, infecting all classes of vertebrates.[1][2] It includes a number of genera,[3] the most well known of which are:

  • Amplicaecum
  • Angusticaecum
  • Ascaris
  • †Ascarites (fossil)[4]
  • Baylisascaris
  • Crossophorus
  • Dujardinascaris
  • Hexametra
  • Lagochilascaris
  • Ophidascaris
  • Parascaris
  • Polydelphis
  • Seuratascaris [5][6]
  • Toxascaris
  • Toxocara
  • Travassoascaris

Ascaris lumbricoides is the main ascarid parasite of humans, causing ascariasis.
