Acanthocephala
Top > Biology > Biota > Fauna > Acanthocephala
Lacking a mouth or alimentary canal, thorny headed worms (Acanthocephala) are parasitic worms which have an elongated appendage (proboscis) covered with spiny hooks for feeding and sucking on their hosts. Host organisms include invertebrates, fishes, amphibians, birds, and mammals. We provide comprehensive descriptions including morphology, life cycle, and other biological features of these parasitic worms.
