Causal Agent: The nematode (roundworm) Enterobius vermicularis (previously Oxyuris vermicularis) also called human pinworm. (Adult females: 8 to 13 mm, adult male: 2 to 5 mm.) Humans are considered to be the only hosts of E. vermicularis. A second species, Enterobius gregorii, has been described and reported from Europe, Africa, and Asia. For all practical purposes, the morphology, life cycle, clinical presentation, and treatment of E. gregorii is identical to E. vermicularis. Geographic Distribution: Worldwide, with infections more frequent in school- or preschool- children and in crowded conditions. Enterobiasis appears to be more common in temperate than tropical countries. The most common helminthic infection in the United States (an estimated 40 million persons infected). Clinical Features: Enterobiasis is frequently asymptomatic. The most typical symptom is perianal pruritus, especially at night, which may lead to excoriations and bacterial superinfection. Occasionally, invasion of the female genital tract with vulvovaginitis and pelvic or peritoneal granulomas can occur. Other symptoms include anorexia, irritability, and abdominal pain. Laboratory Diagnosis: Microscopic identification of eggs collected in the perianal area is the method of choice for diagnosing enterobiasis. This must be done in the morning, before defecation and washing, by pressing transparent adhesive tape ("Scotch test", cellulose-tape slide test) on the perianal skin and then examining the tape placed on a slide. Alternatively, anal swabs or "Swube tubes" (a paddle coated with adhesive material) can also be used. Eggs can also be found, but less frequently, in the stool, and occasionally are encountered in the urine or vaginal smears. Adult worms are also diagnostic, when found in the perianal area, or during ano-rectal or vaginal examinations.

Organizations Definition Pinworms are very common parasites that live in the intestine. Pinworms are most active at night, 2-3 hours after bedtime. The female worm comes out through the anus, and deposits eggs in the perineal area. The perineal area is between the thighs and runs from the anus to the genitals. Pinworms are visible to the naked eye. They are about the size of a staple, are yellow-white in color, and look like a fine piece of thread, which moves actively. Causes Pinworm infection is caused by a small white worm called Enterobius vermicularis . Pinworms are spread by accidentally eating the eggs of the worm which can be found on infected clothing, bedding, toys, or in the stool of an infected person (e.g., diapers). Risk Factors A risk factor is something that increases your chance of getting a disease or condition. Age: 5-14 years old Contact with an infected person (usually a child or family member of infected child) Contact with contaminated clothing, bedding, or object

We are testing all the rat and mice rooms, SPF and conventional housing systems, and we have some animals (under both systems) shedding the pinworm eggs. This information is a collection of articles and comments from various individuals and institutions around the country (including our own), that have also dealt with pinworms. And now here's the rest of the story........... The secrete to eliminating this parasite is understanding how to control it. Check out the Control section!!!!!!!! Life Cycles Clinical Disease Pathology Morbidity ... Other Universities Author: Brunhilde Illgen-Wilcke, Novartis, Switzerland Host species: Syphacia obvelata : mainly mouse (also rat, hamster, gerbil, wild rodents) Syphacia muris : mainly rat (also mouse, hamster, gerbil, wild rodents) Aspiculuris tetraptera : mouse, rat (rarely), wild rodents Life cycle: Syphacia : direct cycle which requires only 11-15 days. Gravid females deposit their eggs in the perianal region. The eggs become infectious within 6 hours. Three possible infectious routes: direct: by ingestion of embryonated eggs from the perianal region indirect: by ingestion of food or water contaminated with embryonated eggs retroinfection: when eggs hatch in the perianal region and the larvae migrate back into the colon by way of the anus ( Flynn, 1973)

Pinworms Resources for Child Care Givers Provided by All Family Resources Home Site Index Facts Index FACT SHEETS ON CHILDHOOD DISEASES AND CONDITIONS Pinworms in the Child Care Setting Pinworms Pinworms are tiny parasitic worms that live in the large intestine. The female worms lay their eggs around the anus at night. Symptoms include anal itching, sleeplessness, irritability, and anal irritation due to scratching. Pinworms may also be present without symptoms. Pinworms are common in school-aged children. Pinworms are spread when an uninfected person touches the anal area of an infected person (e.g., during diaper changing) or sheets or other articles contaminated with pinworm eggs, then touches the mouth, transferring the eggs, and swallows the eggs. An infected person can spread pinworms by scratching the anal area, then contaminating food or other objects which are then eaten or touched by uninfected persons. Pinworms can be spread as long as either worms or eggs are present. Eggs can survive up to 2 weeks away from a human host. To prevent the spread of pinworms: If you suspect a child has pinworms, call the parents and ask them to have the child diagnosed. Exclude a child with pinworms from the child care facility until 24 hours after the the child has seen a physician and received the first treatment. The entire family may have to be treated to prevent reinfection. Observe proper handwashing among children and adults, particularly before eating and after using the toilet. Clean and disinfect bathroom surfaces. Vacuum carpeted areas. Machine wash bed linens and hand towels using

Search FamilyFun Tools Parent Problem Solver Field Guide to Parenting Pregnancy Calendar ... Solutions A to Z Worms The most common infections throughout the world are caused by intestinal parasites or worms. People of all ages and in all living conditions are susceptible to worms. Small children are particularly prone because they play in the mud and dirt, suck their fingers, eat soil, run barefoot outdoors and sometimes have less than ideal toilet hygiene. Three of the most common types of worms in humans are pinworm, roundworm and hookworm. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A CHILD GETS PINWORM? Children become infected with pinworms by swallowing pinworm eggs which are transferred to their mouths via contaminated food, drinks or hands. The eggs hatch in the small intestine, releasing immature worms (larvae) to the lower intestine and rectum, where they live. At night, the female worm migrates out through the anus. After laying a large number of eggs, she dies. The entire cycle, from swallowing the eggs to new eggs' being hatched, takes four to six weeks. In children, the most common symptom is itching in the anal area at night. Girls may also have itching in the vaginal area. Other possible symptoms include insomnia, irritability, restlessness, stomach pain and loss of appetite.

Back to table of contents Pinworms-Enterobiasis Vernicularis The mother of a 5 year old boy brings her son to your office because the child has been having difficulty sleeping at night because of severe itching in the perineal area. What advice would you give the mother? Pinworms are caused by a nematode that most commonly affects children. They are found in all socio-economic classes and are world-wide. The life cycle of the pinworm begins after ingesting eggs that hatch in the stomach and duodenum. The larva migrate to the cecum where the male and females mate. The female then migrates to the perineal area and lays her eggs. The female dies after laying her eggs. The cycle is repeated by ingesting the eggs picked up after touching the perineal area. The entire cycle takes about 4-6 weeks. Infection may be spread by crowded conditions and close contact with infected individuals. Occasionally eggs may be spread by housedust. Symptoms The presence of eggs in the perineal area causes itching that may interfere with sleep. May cause vaginal itching and vulvovaginitis when worms migrate into the vagina.

G92-1095-A Equine Internal Parasites Effective control programs for equine internal parasites. Don Hudson, Extension Veterinarian Dale Grotelueschen, Extension Veterinarian Duane Rice, Extension Veterinarian Previous Category Catalog Order Info Major Parasites ... Control and Treatment All horses have internal parasites. Ninety percent of all the colic cases may be related to blood vessel damage caused by the migrating larvae of Strongylus vulgaris (blood worms). Fifty percent of the deaths in horses may be related to internal parasites. Internal parasites have adapted themselves to the internal environment of their host animal and have become host-specific. Horse parasites can only exist in horses and cattle parasites only in cattle. If a cow eats the eggs or larvae of a horse parasite (or vice versa), the life cycle of the parasite is broken. This can be a factor in developing parasite control programs. Major Parasites There are five major kinds of equine internal parasites: large and small strongyles, ascarids, bots, and pinworms. Large and Small Strongyles The most common and most destructive of all internal parasites in the equine are the large strongyles (blood worms). Strongyles can be seen in horses of all ages, except in very young foals. Strongyles range in length from 1/2" to 2".
