A video showing doctors removing worms from the intestine of a reportedly sick person has gone viral.
In the footage, the intestine tissue is filled with Ascaris lumbricoides, a large parasitic worm that causes ascariasis in humans.
Ascaris lumbricoides is the most common parasitic worm in humans, with an estimated 807 million to 1.2 billion people infected worldwide.
The roundworm primarily infects humans via the fecal-oral route.
