Unsegmented, threadlike worms of the phylum Nematoda . Many nematodes are parasitic on humans. They include the whipworm Trichuris trichuria , the muscle worm Trichinella spiralis , the intestinal parasite Strongyloides stercoralis , the hook worms Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus , the threadworm Enterobius or Oxyuris vermicularis , the roundworm Ascaris lumbricoides , the filarial worms and the puppy dog worm Toxocara canis .

The objectives of the present study were: 1) Determine whether Sclerorhabditis nematodes are associated with the four Cecropia species examined and all five Azteca; 2) Determine whether the presence of Sclerorhabditis nematodes in Cecropia is dependent upon the presence of Azteca; 3) Examine queen and worker ants for the presence of nematodes; and 4) Provide an ultrastructural and molecular phylogenetic analyses of Sclerorhabditis specimens from different samples.
