The pinworm lives in the human intestine and are capable of causing infection. Usually, the disease gets transmitted through contaminated water and are commonly caused in children. Infection starts when there occurs contact with the eggs of the worm and it may be from perianal area or from environment. Eggs hatch in intestine, and the adult develops in colon. The adult female of these genre has long pointed tail, whose lifetime is typically one to two months. Mature adult females move to anal area and lay eggs and the cycle of these nematodes continues. The time taken from ingestion of eggs to having new eggs formed in the anus region is from about four to eight weeks. This infection is called by the name enterobiasis. Human beings are their only host. The infection can cause itching in the anal area causing difficulty in sleeping. Enterobius Vermicularis is the scientific name of the pinworm (also known as round worm, thread worm or seaworm). Now let's have a detailed discussion. Have a look into the PowerPoint presentation.
