Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Roundworms (nematodes) – the adult forms of these worms can reside in the gastrointestinal tract, blood, lymphatic system or subcutaneous tissues. Alternatively, the immature (larval) states can cause disease through their infection of various body tissues.
Detailed explanation-2: -Adult worms colonize the upper intestine (duodenum and jejunum) and develop quickly to produce the infective larvae that migrate to muscle tissues. Gastrointestinal symptoms are the first to appear and include nausea, vomiting, epigastric pains, diarrhea and/or constipation.
