Pinworms are generally only about 1cm long and white in color. Looks like white threads. The body length of roundworms can generally grow to 20 to 30cm, which is dozens of times longer than pinworms. The body is red, like an earthworm. So the size and shape are different.
3. How to treat pinworms
Pinworms are parasitic in A parasite in the human intestine. The body of this parasite is relatively small and has little impact on human health, so it is sometimes not taken seriously.

2. The detection of pinworm eggs in the feces or around the anus is an important way to diagnose pinworm infection.

Most of them live spontaneously, while only a few are parasitic. in the human body and cause disease. There are 35 species of this type of nematode found in China. The currently prevalent nematodes include roundworms, whipworms, pinworms, hookworms, Trichinella spiralis and Strongyloides stercoralis. The scientific name of schistosomiasis is Schistosoma, and the important parasite species that parasitize the human body are Schistosoma japonicum, Schistosoma mansoni, Schistosoma elslovi and Schistosoma mekongi.
2. Part or all of the body surface of adult worms of both sexes has small nodules or spine-like protrusions. The mouth and abdominal suckers are located at the front end of the worm body, and the worm body is adsorbed by the suckers. The inner wall of the vein crawls against the blood flow through the suction and separation of the oral and abdominal suckers to the end of the vein in the intestinal submucosa, where they mate and lay eggs. The eggs are oval and light yellow, and contain miracidia. So there is a clear difference between the two.
