The common name for Enterobius vermicularis is the pinworm, which is known for causing enterobiasis, particularly in children. Ancylostoma duodenale is commonly referred to as the hookworm, which can lead to hookworm infection, often associated with anemia and malnutrition. Both parasites are significant in public health, especially in areas with poor sanitation.
