The nematodes or roondwirms constitute the phylum Nematoda.^[2]^[3] Thay are a diverse ainimal phylum inhabitin a broad range o environs. Nematode species can be difficult tae distinguish, an awtho ower 25,000 hae been describit,^[4]^[5] o which mair nor hauf are paraseetic, the tot nummer o nematode species haes been estimatit tae be aboot 1 million.^[6]
