The shape and color of roundworm eggs are linear and black respectively.

Ascaris eggs are difficult to identify with the naked eye. The diagnosis can be confirmed by detecting the eggs in the patient's stool. For those whose eggs are not found in the feces but whose clinical manifestations are suspected of ascariasis, therapeutic anthelmintic diagnosis can be used and identification can be made based on the shape of the worms excreted by the patient. For patients suspected of having pulmonary ascariasis or hypersensitivity pneumonitis caused by roundworm larvae, the diagnosis can be confirmed by checking the sputum for roundworms.

Ascariasis is one of the most common intestinal parasitic diseases in childhood. The disease can often affect the child's appetite and intestinal digestion and absorption functions, hinder the child's growth and development, and can produce relatively severe symptoms. There are many complications, which can be life-threatening in severe cases. Therefore, ascariasis should not be regarded as just a minor problem in children, but active prevention and control measures should be taken.

Prevention and treatment methods of ascariasis:

1. Pay attention to personal hygiene:

Ascariasis is mainly transmitted through the fecal-oral route Infection, that is to say, infection can occur due to eating food contaminated with parasite eggs, especially if children do not wash their hands and can easily eat the eggs carried on their hands when eating, leading to infection with this parasite. Therefore, the most important thing to prevent roundworms is to pay attention to hygiene and dietary hygiene, so as to avoid the occurrence of this disease

2. Use harmless human feces as fertilizer to prevent feces from polluting the environment and cut off the roundworms important measures of transmission. In areas where water manure is used as fertilizer, the manure storage method of five grids and three pools can be used to make most of the eggs in the manure settle at the bottom of the pool. Due to the action of free ammonia and anaerobic fermentation in manure, insect eggs can be killed and the fertilizer efficiency will also be increased.
