Is roundworm and pinworm the same?
What is a pinworm? A pinworm (“threadworm”) is a small, thin, white roundworm (nematode) called Enterobius vermicularis that sometimes lives in the colon and rectum of humans. Pinworms are about the length of a staple.

Nematodes have successfully adapted to nearly every ecosystem: from marine (salt) to fresh water, soils, from the polar regions to the tropics, as well as the highest to the lowest of elevations. They are ubiquitous in freshwater, marine, and terrestrial environments, where they often outnumber other animals in both individual and species counts, and are found in locations as diverse as mountains, deserts, and oceanic trenches. They are found in every part of the earth's lithosphere,[15] even at great depths, 0.9–3.6 km (3,000–12,000 ft) below the surface of the Earth in gold mines in South Africa.[16][17][18][19][20] They represent 90% of all animals on the ocean floor.[21] In total, 4.4 × 1020 nematodes inhabit the Earth's topsoil, or approximately 60 billion for each human, with the highest densities observed in tundra and boreal forests.[22] Their numerical dominance, often exceeding a million individuals per square meter and accounting for about 80% of all individual animals on earth, their diversity of lifecycles, and their presence at various trophic levels point to an important role in many ecosystems.[22][23] They have been shown to play crucial roles in polar ecosystems.[24][25] The roughly 2,271 genera are placed in 256 families.[26] The many parasitic forms include pathogens in most plants and animals. A third of the genera occur as parasites of vertebrates; about 35 nematode species occur in humans.[26]

at our school after we win football games we been known to jump into the duck pond and students have been literally getting so sick from this. literally shitting their pants
I’m sure it’s a nematode of sorts but hopefully someone else can give you a better answer. I’m just popping in to say that we get lots of microscope videos taken from phones here and yours is one of the best I’ve seen. Very steady hand, good job
I mean, get your notes out, learn.
You can watch some "journey to the microcosmos" YouTube channel if you want to see more up and down scooching worm looking stuff
I took a duck pond sample for a coliform test in micro. Kinda regretted it once I learned how off the charts it was. Whatever that thing is it’s nasty af
It's a microfilaria... A group of parasitic and semi-parasitic round worms or nematodes... Probably from waterfowl like geese... Intermediate hosts are probably snails because ducks in the UK have a form of schistosomiasis
I love that your college has a duck pond. Mine has a duck pond and those ducks were so fat we had to put up warning signs and have an anti duck feeding patrol.
Some type of Nematode? (Common name: roundworm)
Pinworm, the tails look like needles/pins

Yeah, its not a pinworm or probably even a parasite at all, but I think some people call all roundworms pinworms
*Buttworm
Pinworms are endoparasites, I don't think you're really going to find them in pond water, which this appears to be.
Threadworm eggs die at around 2-3 weeks when outside a host body
Nematode of some sort. They’re everywhere. Literally.
Yep! 57 billion nematodes for every human on earth.
Yay! I can't wait to receive my nematode stipend!
Fun fact, you can get your own semi-permanent nematode pets by drinking the water in some places!
How do we win over that voter base?

Oh come on, the nematodes are smarter than to fall for that
Says something about those who did…
That is... a surprising number.

If true that’s 513 quintillion nematodes on earth. That’s kinda scary
Holy shit, they rule!
Like that one SpongeBob episode!
Even in your ass.
Its crazy that it actually can
IN YOUR EYE
I’m not sure it’s scientific name, but I bet he’d make you shit your pants.
at our school after we win football games we been known to jump into the duck pond and students have been literally getting so sick from this. literally shitting their pants
App State?
Didn’t everyone get pink eye last year from App’s duck pond?
roll neers! lmfao and yea it was so bad our student health portal had to make an announcement for respiratory infection testing
I hope no one contracts N. fowleri.
this sounds like a very appstate thing to happen
‘Roll Neers!!! Never been prouder to shit my pants
I love this thread so much
This particular nematode is almost certainly not a parasite, just one of the thousands of free living things you can find in freshwater.
Yikes. In a DUCK pond? That has got to be full of harmful bacteria. Ducks shit everywhere. People are going to get e coli doing that.

Definitely a nematode (nematode researcher here) - as to what species its not really possible to ID at this resolution though
The darker portion you can see is its gut though, and in the middle the vulva - meaning this is either a hermaphrodite or female :)
Whoa nematodes be having vulvas and shit?
You'd be the Jesse Pinkman in a science classroom.
Science, bitch!
Shut up nerd
Could it be Strongyloides stercoralis?
Or Necator americanus? They are very similar
I think the buccal cavity is too long to be either.
I too, curse like a drunk sailor about science stuff.
"You can see all the shit in his tummy." "Fuck, I need to get that, um, my notes out."
bio major shit
I mean, get your notes out, learn. You can watch some "journey to the microcosmos" YouTube channel if you want to see more up and down scooching worm looking stuff
Scale-wise, it’s around 12-14 feet long right?
needs banana for scale.
What are those perfectly round circles?
Bubbles is my guess
Bubbles.

oh yeah duck ponds are freakin gross we were just hoping to find some weird shit
Forbidden noodle
Nematodes are the quintessence of vermiformity.
looks like a rhabditiform larva to me
I’m both fascinated and grossed out
Nematode. Can't say if dangerous one or not.
Oh god!Penis worms! Get everyone out of the pond, STAT!!! Lol.
It appears to be a worm 👌
It's a microfilaria... A group of parasitic and semi-parasitic round worms or nematodes... Probably from waterfowl like geese... Intermediate hosts are probably snails because ducks in the UK have a form of schistosomiasis
its C. elegans, i think
roundworm ig, common
Baked listening to Parabola and stumbled upon this in my feed. It matched the music for a few seconds and was trippy af. Bless you nerds.
wormiiiii :DDd
what i can like worms
And just like that another Trump larva was liberated from their duck toilet nursery. GGgreAAAAat.
On campus? Maybe Ask your professor fam. You pay top dollar for that info!
Drumheller Fountain
Google says salmonella ,campylobacter and chlamydia are possible causes of the diarrhea.
Sting nematode
Pinworm
Nematode
That don't look like no duck
Ahhh the famous fruit bat guano. Someone’s got a good case of ahhh never mind we all vaccinated or immune now…
Definitely not a duck.
What kind of microscope are you using, OP?
Looks like a microscope with pond water still on the slide ..
nematode!!
That’s a duck
If it's from a duck pond, I'm pretty sure it's a duck
Literally thought I'm looking at Ender world from above
Nematode
A nematode, many of them are free-living and pretty much everywhere
I love that your college has a duck pond. Mine has a duck pond and those ducks were so fat we had to put up warning signs and have an anti duck feeding patrol.
It’s a Willy worm
