Definition
A parasitic roundworm that infects vertebrate animals, including humans, living in the tissues and causing gnathostomiasis.
Etymology
From Greek gnathos (jaw) plus stoma (mouth), named because the worm has a distinctive hook-armed mouth used for tissue penetration.
Kelly Says
This nasty parasitic worm got its name because its mouth is surrounded by circular rows of hooks that look like a miniature jaw—and it can infect humans who eat undercooked seafood!
