Nematicides

**Nematicides are drugs that have a broad spectrum of action and are intended to combat roundworms.**

Roundworms **helminths are dioecious parasites**. Helminth eggs are usually microscopic or even very microscopic in size, so the eggs can be carried by flies and other arthropods. The egg is a favorite food of some birds, bats, small mammals (for example, mice), as well as insects that manage to eat it from the surface of the substrate. An animal that has swallowed roundworm eggs needs the eggs to be in the intestines from which the larvae will hatch. The larva, having entered the intestine, bypasses the intestine and changes its shape, becoming round, begins to move to the site of parasitism and at the root of the hair, having attached itself to the wall of the host, it turns into a sexually mature individual capable of reproducing.

Nematicides are divided into anti-coital and anti-quail. The division corresponds to two main groups of human helminthiasis: non-parasoidal (anti-coital action) and transmissible (anti-quail action).

The anticoital spectrum of action covers the entire group of roundworms that cause three types of parasites: ** hookworms, necatorosis, trichocephalosis.**

The action of nematicides can be expressed by two different symptoms: the elimination of a visible animal from the body or their intestinal action. Thanks to the therapeutic effect of these drugs, many of those who suffered from helminthiasis got rid of their animals. Currently, a third class of anthelmintic drugs is being developed, the production of which uses biotechnology, which makes it possible to create potent agents with a wide spectrum of anthelmintic action. This **killer has drugs that together kill all types of roundworms living in the human body**

Nematicide IS... * Nematode + lat. caedo killers?

I'll move on, continuing to drink my morning coffee and scrolling through the swelling association of "nematicide". Perhaps this is more of a guess, but I feel a certain kinship between the words "murder" in the context of society and the individual causing anxiety and concern.
