Enterobiosis (Invasia with Muspartes)

Molds are small (about 1 cm) white worms with a pointed rear end.

Infection by this disease occurs as a result of swallowing eggs of worms, which can be under the nails, on clothes, underwear or in home dust.

Through the mouth of the eggs fall into the intestine, where the larvae appear from them, which ripen for 12-14 days. After that, the female is already able to put eggs.

At night, when the muscles relax, the female crashes from the intestine and postpones a large number of eggs around the rear passage. During this, skin irritation occurs, which is accompanied by pronounced itch. When a child combs these places, the eggs fall under the nails, after which the kid himself spreads them to all things to which touches - blanket, toys, food, food. After 6 hours, a small larva appears in each egg, which is viable for 20 days. Eggs of the sharp resistant to the action of disinfectants, but quickly die under the influence of ultraviolet rays of the Sun. Another condition is that with unsanitary conditions for children, the possibilities of reusable infection are created for children, because immunity is not produced after transferred enterobiosis.

Askaridoz

This kind of helminthiasis is especially common. According to indicative data, about 1 million people suffer from ascarides in the world. Children of preschool and younger school age are most often ill.

According to the appearance of Askarida resembles an earthworm. Adult individuals reach sizes from 15-20 cm (males) to 20-40 cm (females). Askarida is a very prolific worm. During the day, it is able to postpone up to 200,000 eggs. Live these helminths 1-2 years. Asskarid's eggs together with feces of a sick person get into the soil. Unwashed, contaminated soil hands are one of the main sources of infection. Often eggs Askarid penetrate the body with fruits, vegetables, polluted ground or flies. When a man swallows the eggs ascarid, they fall into the intestine. Of these, larvae are out, which through the walls of the intestine penetrate into the blood. Then they migrate to the lungs alveoli, after which of small bronchi in large and trachea. Having reached the pharynx, the larvae swallow with saliva or food and again fall into the esophagus, stomach and settle in the small intestine. There they continue to grow, put the eggs.
