To make things worse the physician often suggested euthanizing the animal.<br /><br />DOGS AND CAT DO NOT HAVE PINWORMS.... Pinworms are very host specific, even if they had pinworms they would not be infective to humans. Eggs could be transferred mechanically on the fur of pets but it would still be human to human. Medicate the hosts and wash the dirty linen (and pets). <br /><br />As diagnosticians you may be the only one who knows the truth.<br /><br />Old Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03517349371972756602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-629132641307534690.post-76948725714454646112019-01-07T07:57:48.865-06:002019-01-07T07:57:48.865-06:00Enterobius vermicularisEnterobius vermicularisSamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08527111856234825333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-629132641307534690.post-83665097604574295492019-01-06T20:13:59.027-06:002019-01-06T20:13:59.027-06:00Definitely Enterobius vermicularis.

You can also find Pharyngodon sp. in reptiles. E. gregorii is reported as a separated species, but some investigators believe that E. gregorii could be a stage phase of E. vermicularis. Enterobius anthropopitheci, the chimpanzee pinworm, as well as E. vermicularis and E. gregorii were found in chimpanzees. Syphacia are rarely found in humans, but common in wild and domestic rodents (S. muris; S. obvelata). Males of Syphacia spp. have two or three ventral mamelons (serrated projections), females are typical pinworms, but the eggs are operculated.
