Enterobiasis is a common intestinal infection caused by the pinworm Enterobius vermicularis.
Enterobiasis is spread through the ingestion of infective eggs, which can be found on contaminated food, water, or surfaces.
The eggs of Enterobius vermicularis are highly resistant to environmental conditions and can survive for long periods of time.
Once ingested, the eggs hatch in the small intestine and the larvae migrate to the large intestine, where they mature into adult worms.
