蟯 wasn't in cantodict when I searched the other day.
The copound it is used in should be 蟯蟲 and I've checked 2 dictionaries and they said it was jiu4.
It's a parasitic worm called Enterobius vermicularis and know as pinworm in the US and threadworm in the USA. Anyway, I was curious about the chinese name for it, but couldn't find a reading on EStroke or cantodict.
