Acanthocephaliasis

Acanthocephaliasis is a human disease caused by parasitic worms in the phylum Acanthocephala. They rarely infect humans. The worms' typical definitive hosts are racoons, rats, and swine, but it can survive in humans. Macracanthorhynchus hirudinaceus, Macracanthorhynchus ingens, Moniliformis moniliformis, Acanthocephalus rauschi, Pseudoacanthocephalus bufonis, and Corynosoma strumosum are the species commonly found in humans.
