Risk calculators and risk factors for Enterobiasis classification

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 1–4 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.
