Artwork of various intestinal parasites and gut
Intestinal parasites. Artwork showing the human intestines (pink) surrounded by various parasitic worms which can live in them. In the lower segment are pinworms (or threadworms, Enterobius vermicul- aris), which are very common in children, affecting up to one fifth of them. In the upper left segment are a whipworm (lower left), a hookworm (Necator americanus, above whipworm) and a tapeworm. In the upper right segment are Ascaris worms, another threadworm, and the head of another tapeworm. These worms live off the blood of the host, which they take from the intestinal wall. They can all be killed with anthelmintic drugs

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate artwork of various intestinal parasites and gut. The human intestines, depicted in a delicate shade of pink, are surrounded by an array of parasitic worms that can inhabit them. In the lower segment, we observe pinworms (or threadworms), which commonly afflict children, affecting up to one fifth of them. Moving to the upper left segment, our attention is drawn to a whipworm positioned below a hookworm (Necator americanus) and above it lies a tapeworm. On the opposite side in the upper right segment, we encounter Ascaris worms alongside another threadworm and the head of yet another tapeworm. These remarkable creatures survive by feeding on their host's blood extracted from the intestinal wall. However, their existence can be terminated through anthelmintic drugs specifically designed for this purpose. The photograph not only serves as an artistic representation but also provides valuable insights into nature's complex web of life. It highlights both the beauty and intricacy found within these often overlooked organisms while emphasizing their impact on human health. This mesmerizing piece combines elements from zoology, wild life photography, and scientific illustration to create an engaging visual narrative about these fascinating endoparasites known as intestinal worms or parasites.
