| Rhabditida
Strongyloides stercoralis: This parasitic nematode infects humans and other mammals. It causes strongyloidiasis, a disease characterized by gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and nausea. In severe cases, the larvae of Strongyloides stercoralis can migrate to other organs, leading to a potentially fatal condition called disseminated strongyloidiasis.
Heterorhabditis spp. and Steinernema spp.: These are entomopathogenic nematodes that infect insects and are used as biological control agents in agriculture. While they are generally harmless to humans, accidental ingestion or skin contact with infected insects can sometimes result in mild skin irritation or allergic reactions.
Caenorhabditis elegans: Although primarily a model organism in scientific research, Caenorhabditis elegans can occasionally infect humans, particularly individuals with compromised immune systems. Infections are typically opportunistic and can lead to localized abscesses or systemic infections, especially in cases of immunosuppression.
Angiostrongylus cantonensis: While technically belonging to the order Strongylida, Angiostrongylus cantonensis is commonly known as the rat lungworm and is sometimes classified within the Rhabditida. This parasitic nematode infects rodents, but humans can become infected by ingesting contaminated food or water containing infective larvae. In humans, it can cause eosinophilic meningitis, leading to symptoms such as severe headache, neck stiffness, nausea, and vomiting.

Different labs use different software to read the sample. See this post for more details.
One lab may say you have none, another may say you have a lot! - This may be solely due to the software they are using to estimate.
We deem lab specific values using values from the KM method for each specific lab to be the most reliable.
