Question

Pinworm infection is transmitted from one person to another by _________.

• A. Fecal-oral route
• B. Air
• C. Water
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Fecal-oral route

Humans are the only host for the pinworm infection which and hence can be spread by the fecal-oral route. This, in turn, means that the infective pinworm eggs can be transferred from the anus to someone's mouth, either directly or indirectly through contaminated clothes, food or water.
