Enterobiasis - what does this mean

Enterobiasis is caused by the pinworm, a small, white, parasitic roundworm that lives in the intestines of humans. it is transmitted through the ingestion of pinworm eggs, which are found on contaminated surfaces, objects, and in contaminated food. the eggs hatch in the small intestine, and the larvae migrate to the large intestine where they mature into adults and lay eggs around the anus, which can then be spread to other people.
