Tapeworms are more of a worry than the Pinworms. There are so many different species out there of each and yes what may infect one animal may be harmless to another. Tapeworms are not always animal specific and no I do not have the link nor donI have the species, but one type in particular are found in locusts and I have read somewhere years ago that it was one that could also infect humans, but perhaps it was just hitching a ride. Like parasites found in most snails.

I'm far from an expert on these things so I'll let those who know more on the suject handle it.

Sorry if you felt put on the spot.
