Overview
There is no known classification for enterobiasis but it may be classified on the basis of the organisms causing it; Enterobius vermicularis and Enterobius gregorri.
Classification
Enterobiasis is caused by the two species of Enterobius (pinworm):
E. vermicularis and E. gregorii have a minor difference in the morphology. E. gregorii is the newly discovered species that carries a smaller spicule (sexual organ).The life cycle, clinical presentation, and treatment of E. gregorii is identical to E. vermicularis.[1][2]
