Nematode

The nematodes or roundworms : "thread" + -ode "like") are one of the most common phyla of animals, with over 80,000 different described species . 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 Antarctica and oceanic trenches. Further, there are a great many parasitic forms, including pathogens in most plants, animals, and also in humans.The nematodes were originally named nematoidea by Rudolphi . They were renamed nematodes by Burmeister 1837 , then nematoda , though Nathan Cobb argued that they should be called nemata or nemates . After some confusion which saw the nematodes placed as a class or order in various groups such as Aschelminthes, Lankester definitively promoted them to the level of phylum.
