Detailed Solution

The eggs of Ascaris lumbricoides are passed out along with faeces of an infected person. These eggs are called embryonated eggs and they contain rhabditiform larva. Fresh human hosts are infected when they ingest these its embryonated eggs along with contaminated food.

Entamoeba histolytica is also spread through contaminated food but its infective stage is tetranucleate cyst (not eggs). Plasmodium vivax and Wuchereria bancrofti are spread through mosquito bite.
