Parasitic Worms
Parasitic worms, also known as helminths, are large macroparasites; adults can generally be seen with the naked eye. Many are intestinal worms that are soil-transmitted and infect the gastrointestinal tract. Other parasitic worms such as schistosomes reside in blood vessels. Some parasitic worms, including leeches and monogeneans, are ectoparasites thus, they are not classified as helminths, which are endoparasites. Parasitic worms live in and feed in living hosts. They receive nourishment and protection while disrupting their hosts' ability to absorb nutrients. This can cause weakness and disease in the host, and poses a global health and economic problem. Parasitic worms cannot reproduce entirely within their host's body; they have a life cycle that includes some stages that need to take place outside of the host. Helminths are able to survive in their mammalian hosts for many years due to their ability to manipulate the host's immune response by secreting immunomodulatory ...

Polymorphidae
The thorny-headed worm family Polymorphidae contains endoparasites which as adults feed mainly in fish and aquatic birds. When this taxon was erected by Meyer in 1931, a subfamily Polymorphinae was established in it. As the Polymorphidae as presently understood would then be monotypic, with no basal genera outside the Polymorphinae, the proposed subfamily is redundant for the time being and therefore most modern treatments simply omit it. '' Polymorphus minutus'' is an economically significant parasite in goose and duck farming. Species Polymorphidae contains the following species: ''Andracantha'' Schmidt, 1975 *''Andracantha baylisi'' (Zdzitowiecki, 1986) Zdzitowiecki, 1989 *''Andracantha clavata'' (Goss, 1940) ''Andracantha gravida'' (Alegret, 1941) Schmidt, 1975 *''Andracantha mergi'' Lundström, 1942 *''Andracantha phalacrocoracis'' (Yamaguti, 1939) *''Andracantha tandemtesticulata'' Monteiro, Amato & Amato, 2006 *''Andracantha tunitae'' (Weiss, 1914) ''Ardeirhynchus'' ...
