Yes, roundworms from dogs (and cats) can be contracted by humans. This occurs from coming into contact with fecal material, dirt or even in-animate objects that have been in contact with dirt or fecal material that is contaminated and then putting your hands to your mouth. The eggs from roundworms can remain viable in the environment for up to 10 years after being shed in feces and puppies and kittens are commonly infected. This is why it is important to be sure that everyone washes their hands after playing out in a yard and to have puppies (and kittens) dewormed regularly when they are young.

∙ 10y agoThere are some ways: Prenatal infection occurs when the larvae migrate through the placenta in utero. Almost all puppies are infected in this manner before birth. Mother's milk can also transmit ascarids. In addition, puppies and adults can become infected by ingesting eggs in the soil. But there are other causes....which are described in the website whose link is placed below.
For a whole information about this subject I advice to visit the related link.
