Where do ascaris live?

Ascaris, a genus of parasitic roundworms, primarily inhabit the small intestine of their hosts, which are usually humans and other animals. They thrive in the warm, moist environment of the intestines, where they feed on nutrients from the host's digested food. Ascaris can also be found in soil, particularly in areas contaminated with feces, where their eggs can survive for long periods, awaiting ingestion by a new host.
