Enterobius vermicularis – Male adult specimen (2 mm to 5 mm long) in stools

France, Dardé Marie-Laure

Unlike the female, the male pinworm shows an abruptly truncated posterior tip, which is also ventrally curved. The posterior end bears a cloaca and a copulatory spicule. Male pinworms are rarely found in stools.
