the Pogonophora‚ Echiura and Sipuncula‚ previously regarded as separate phyla‚ are now regarded as sub-groups of polychaetes. Annelids are considered members of the Lophotrochozoa‚ a "super-phylum" of protostomes that also includes molluscs‚ brachiopods‚flatworms and nemerteans. The basic annelid form consists of multiple segments‚ each of which has the same sets of organs and‚ in most polychaetes‚ a pair of parapodia that many species use for locomotion. Septa separate the segments of many species‚ but

however can cause damage or even bring about death to other organisms and these are the microbes that humans have battled to control over many years with varying degrees of success. (Toole & Toole‚ 1995) Microscopic parasites such as Nematodes (roundworms) are diverse. Treatments for such infestations target inhibition of growth or reproduction. If an area needs to be treated to prevent the infection of another organism disinfectants may be used. They work by inhibiting the growth or destroying

livestock animals. The tissues of livestock animals contain high level of omega 6 fatty acid but livestock lack the enzymes (n-3 fatty acid de-saturase) to convert omega 6 fatty acids to omega 3 fatty acids. The fat-1 gene desaturase found in the roundworm C. elegans convert omega 6 fatty acids to omega 3 fatty acids by introducing double bond into the gene (Saeki et al.‚ 2004). Phytase transgenic pigs have been developed to address the problem
