It was a roundworm usually found in pythons.
A team at the hospital tried to identify the roundworm to decide on any further treatment the patient might require
During surgery, neurosurgeon Dr Hari Priya Bandi was surprised to find an 8-centimetre-long live worm in her brain and pulled it out. They sent the live worm to the laboratory of a scientist experienced with parasites who identified it as ‘Ophidascaris robertsi’, a roundworm usually found in pythons. The patient resides near a lake area inhabited by carpet pythons. Despite no direct snake contact, she often collected native grasses, including warrigal greens, from around the lake to use in cooking.
