The Genus Enterobius is a group of parasites that commonly infect humans and cause a condition known as enterobiasis. Some of the synonyms for this genus include Pinworms, Threadworms, and Seatworms. These parasites are tiny, white, and often live in the intestines of their hosts. They are commonly transmitted through contact with infected surfaces such as bedding or clothing. Symptoms of enterobiasis include itching around the anus, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Treatment typically involves medication to kill the parasites and measures to prevent re-infection, such as washing hands and bedding regularly. Early diagnosis and treatment can reduce the spread of infection and prevent complications.
