淡水线虫（Gordiaceae）和海洋线虫（Nectonematoidea）组成了线虫门。这里只讨论淡水形式。虽然淡水毛毛虫作为水生和陆生节肢动物的寄生虫发育，但它们都进入淡水交配，产卵并产生感染阶段（寄生虫幼虫）。根据已发表的描述，全球淡水毛毛虫的物种多样性约为326种，保守估计该群体的全球物种多样性约为2，000种。
Freshwater hairworms (Gordiaceae) and marine hairworms (Nectonematoidea) comprise the phylum Nematomorpha. Only the freshwater forms are discussed here. While freshwater hairworms develop as parasites of both aquatic and terrestrial arthropods, they all enter fresh water to mate, oviposit and produce infective stages (preparasitic larvae). The global species diversity of freshwater hairworms based on published descriptions is approximately 326 species and a conservative estimate for the global species diversity in this group would be around 2,000 species.
