	Paratenuisentis Ambiguus Tenuisentidae is a family of parasitic spiny-headed (or thorny-headed) worms. The family contains two genera, each with one species. Description and taxonomy Species There are two genera, each with a single species. ''Paratenuisentis'' Bullock and Samuel, 1975 * ''Paratenuisentis ambiguus'' (Van Cleave, 1921) ''P. ambiguus'' infects the European eel (''Anguilla anguilla''). ''Tenuisentis'' Van Cleave, 1936 * ''Tenuisentis niloticus'' (Meyer, 1932) ''T. niloticus'' was found infecting the small intestine of the African arowana (''Heterotis niloticus''). The species name ''niloticus'' derives from the species name of the host fish, also ''niloticus''. It has also been found in the Egyptian Nile and River Sourou at Di, Sourou Province, Burkina Faso, Sudan and Mali. It has also been found in the electric catfish (''Malapterurus electricus'') in Lekki Lagoon, Lagos, Nigeria.Pak J Biol Sci. 2007 Feb 1;10(3):427-32.

picture info	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 ...
