Enterobius vermicularis (pinworm):
- Transmission: Primarily spreads through the fecal-oral route via contaminated surfaces, clothing, or bedding.
- Life Cycle: Adult pinworms live in the intestines, and females lay eggs around the anus, causing itching.
- Prevention: Good hygiene practices, such as regular handwashing, keeping nails trimmed, and washing bedding and clothing, can help prevent infection.
