Abstract
Pinworm, a common parasitic infestation, can be a chronic nuisance in community and institutional residences for people with developmental disabilities. Asymptomatic human carriage of the parasite and its eggs often prevents eradication from a communal residential setting. The elimination of pinworm from a system of community residential settings through a public health approach was described.
