Depending on the type of worms, it could be caused by different things, but most are caused by the dog eating a flea that hosts the egg of the parasite. The dog can also get it if he eats the excrement of another infected animal. The best prevention would be a good flea prevention and cleaning up the yard (or area where you walk him).

Why is your dog dragging her rear end on the carpet?

One reason may be that the dog has worms. They itch and the dog drags his/her rear to scratch the itch. My dog does this even though she doesn't have worms. (I know she doesn't because she was given a wormer recently.) I wonder if she does it just to wipe herself or scratch herself. Not sure if there are other reasons besides worms. Anyone else?
