Oxyuridae is a family of nematode worms of the class Secernentea. [2] It consists of eight genera, one of which contains the human pinworm (Enterobius vermicularis). [3]
The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) is part of the United States National Library of Medicine (NLM), a branch of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). It is approved and funded by the government of the United States. The NCBI is located in Bethesda, Maryland, and was founded in 1988 through legislation sponsored by US Congressman Claude Pepper.
The Thermoprotei is a class of the Thermoproteota.
Anaeroplasmatales is an order of mollicute bacteria which are generally found in the rumens of cattle and sheep. The only family in the order is the family Anaeroplasmataceae.
The Actinomycetia are a class of bacteria.
The Halanaerobiales are an order of bacteria placed within the class Clostridia, and encompassing two families, the Halanaerobiaceae and the Halobacteroidaceae. Originally placed within the highly polyphyletic class Clostridia, according to the NCBI and LPSN, it is now thought to lie outside the Bacillota. Halanaerobiales are halophilic obligate anaerobes with a fermentative or homoacetogenic metabolism.
Acidilobales are an order of archaea in the class Thermoprotei.
In taxonomy, the Methanococcales are an order of the Methanococci.
Oxyurida is an order of nematode worms of the class Secernentea. It consists of four families, one of which contains the human pinworm.
The pinworm, also known as threadworm or seatworm, is a parasitic worm. It is a nematode (roundworm) and a common intestinal parasite or helminth, especially in humans. The medical condition associated with pinworm infestation is known as pinworm infection (enterobiasis) or less precisely as oxyuriasis in reference to the family Oxyuridae.
The Acidobacteriaceae are a family of Acidobacteriota.
The Solirubrobacterales are an order of Actinomycetota.
Sporichthya is a genus of bacteria in the family Sporichthyaceae.
The Geodermatophilaceae are an actinomycete family of bacteria.
Beutenbergiaceae is an Actinomycete family.
Bogoriellaceae is an Actinomycete family.
Tessaracoccus is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic and non-motile bacterial genus from the family Propionibacteriaceae.
Arachnia is a bacterial genus from the family Propionibacteriaceae.
Phycisphaeraceae is a family of bacteria.
Nautilia is a genus of bacteria from the family of Synergistaceae.
