T. trichiura
This is almost certainly a case of enterobiasis (Enterobius vermicularis). Some diagnostic features which are nicely demonstrated in the appendix cross-sections include alae, intestines, ovaries, and the hard-to-mistake eggs (which I think look like little loaves of bread). Perhaps treatment with a benzimidazole drug or pyrantel pamoate is indicated in this case. Also, prophylactic treatment of close contacts might be warranted, since this poor fellow is a probably a nidus of infection for countless others with whom he physically interacts on a daily basis.
So, what's the scoop with Enterobius gregorii? Real or fiction?
