Forms of Worm
The two pinworms commonly found in human are:
- Enterobius vermicularis
- Enterobius gregorii
Both have minor difference in the spicule(sexual organ). E. gregorii carries a smaller spicule.The life cycle, clinical presentation, and treatment of E. gregorii is identical to E. vermicularis.[1][2] The adult pinworm male is 2–5 mm in length, while the adult female is 8–13 mm and possesses the long, pin-shaped posterior for which the worm is named. The human pinworm is commonly found in children.[3]
