Pinworms from cats and dogs?
Answer: No ! Dogs and cats are completely
blameless with regar'd to the spread of this
parasite. Pinworms• tend to be spread.
indirectly from one human to another.
Dogs and eats are never infected by
Pinworms.
However, pets can play' a role -in other •

to detect any worm problems.. Round
worms, 'hookworms and toxoplasma •
organisms are-all -very common problenjs
that do concern man.
Round worms ,. are. very....prevatent., in
young puppies and can cause a disease in
humans called "Visceral Larva Migrans" if
their eggs are ingested by humans in large
enough numbers. This is usually only a:
problem when there is a young child
crawling on the floors and an untrained
young pup in the same house.
When there -is a youngster around, all
dogs : should be wornied consistently for
"round worms". "Round' worms" have
been known to develop ' and migrate
through the human body causing serious '
oonsequences if enough of their eggs have
ben ingested by a • child playing in soil
contaminated by dog feces.
Likewise "hookworm" eggs passed in
':'; dogs feces can become an annoying
problem in man: The disease in man is,
called "Cutaneous larva migrans". The
infective larva of "hookworms are
capable of pentrating the skin and moving

area difficult.parasite to get rid of. It takes
a special anthelmintic• to clear up an
infection in dogs.
• Another important. problem is
Toxotildsmosis. This disease has gained a
great deal., of publicity recently. This
prOtozoan organism is capable of crossing
the placental barrier and causing disease
and malformation of the developing fetus.
'Abortion and birth defects' in htimans ha-S.4
caused an increased awareness on the part
of the pet owner.
Cats are responsible for-passing the:,
organism via their feces to other mammals
',including man. Another way in which the
disease is spread is by ingesting the
contaminated meat of animals with
Toxoplasmosis.
The infection "is very common in
doThestic animals in Ontario, Therefore
pregnant women are advised to only eat
meat that is properly , cooked and' .allow
some one else to handle the cat's litter
In conclusion, it should be pointed out
that with proper hygiene and regular
wormingg there should be no problems...of
htiman disease as a result of cat and dog
parasitism. In addition, cats and dogs in
South Western Ontario.' are' of
consequence in the spread of human
tapeworm and pinworm infections.
