They can - passing the worms can be irritating, which most dogs would respond to by trying to scratch or bite their tails.

More likely, your dog may have another type of parasite such as fleas (which tend to accumulate around the tail head) or lice. If the irritation persists, or your dog's tail starts bleeding or scabbing over, I would suggest taking him to the vet for an examination.

Why do dogs bite tails?

They will do this. Puppies are most likely to bite each other's tails while playing, but adult dogs will also do so. It is usually a play gesture and not meant to be a serious attack. Dogs trained for fighting will also sometimes grab their rival by the tail; this is why the fighting breeds often have docked tails.
