The genus Lumbricus contains some of the most commonly seen earthworms in Europe among its nearly 700 valid species. [2] Characteristics of some commonly encountered species are: Lumbricus rubellus is usually reddish brown or reddish violet, iridescent dorsally, and pale yellow ventrally. They are usually about 25–105 mm in length, and have ...
Ascaris lumbricoides is a large parasitic roundworm of the genus Ascaris. It is the most common parasitic worm in humans. [1] An estimated 807 million–1.2 billion people are infected with A. lumbricoides worldwide. [2]
The Lumbricidae are a family of earthworms.About 33 lumbricid species have become naturalized around the world, [1] but the bulk of the species are in the Holarctic region: from Canada (e.g. Bimastos lawrenceae on Vancouver Island) and the United States (e.g. Eisenoides carolinensis, Eisenoides lonnbergi and most Bimastos spp.) and throughout Eurasia to Japan (e.g. Eisenia japonica, E. koreana ...
Lumbricus terrestris is a large, reddish worm species thought to be native to Western Europe, now widely distributed around the world (along with several other lumbricids). In some areas where it is an introduced species , some people consider it to be a significant pest for out-competing native worms.
One significant biotic interaction of Lumbricus rubellus results from a relationship with vitamin B 12-producing microorganisms such as bacteria and actinomycetes and barley. [3] The presence of such earthworms as Lumbricus rubellus increases concentrations of vitamin B 12-producing microorganisms and vitamin B 12 in the soil. The result is an ...

Lumbricus terrestris is still present in a pH of 5.4, Dendrobaena octaedra at a pH of 4.3 and some Megascolecidae are present in extremely acidic humic soils. Soil pH may also influence the numbers of worms that go into diapause. The more acidic the soil, the sooner worms go into diapause, and remain in diapause the longest time at a pH of 6.4.
