Ancylostoma

The most common species causing this disease in the Americas is Ancylostoma braziliense.

Where Ancylostoma is also endemic, differential diagnosis may require larval culture although the treatment is similar.

Ancylostoma duodenale is small cylindrical worm, greyish-white in color.

Ancylostoma duodenale can be treated with albendazole, mebendazole and benzimidazoles.

There are lots of different species of hookworm, but the most common is the dog or cat one Ancylostoma braziliensis.

Additionally, the hook shape is much more defined in Necator than in Ancylostoma.

Regular anthelmintic treatment and good hygiene as outlined for Ancylostoma will control Uncinaria infection.

Ancylostoma tubaeforme is a hookworm that infects cats.

Ancylostomiasis (also anchylostomiasis or ankylostomiasis) is the condition of infection by Ancylostoma hookworms.

Ancylostoma braziliense, commonly infects cats, popularly known in Brazil as "bicho-geográfico"

Transmission of Ancylostoma duodenale is by contact of skin with soil contaminated with larvae.

Ancylostoma duodenale is a species of the worm genus Ancylostoma.

Ancylostoma caninum is a species of nematode which principally infects the small intestine of dogs.

Ancylostoma caninum (dog hookworm)

Ancylostoma brasiliensis causes cutaneous larva migrans.

Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus are the two human hookworms that are normally discussed together as the cause of hookworm infection.

Although Block and Schneider wrote the epithet as ancylostomus and that form appears in some literature, most modern sources regard the correct form to be ancylostoma.

Ancylostoma caninum attaches itself on the intestinal wall to feed on the host's blood, and can cause hyperchromic anemia, emaciation, diarrhea, and possibly death.

Hookworms are parasites of the small intestine and the three genera of veterinary importance are Ancylostoma, Uncinaria, and Bunostomum.

The bowmouth guitarfish (Rhina ancylostoma), also called the shark ray or mud skate, is a species of ray and the sole member of the family Rhinidae.

Ancylostoma tubaeforme along with Ancylostoma braziliense are the two most common hookworms to infect cats, causing anemia and also compromising the immune system.

Ancylostoma duodenale is prevalent in southern Europe, northern Africa, India, China, and southeast Asia, small areas of United States, the Caribbean islands, and South America.

Important parasites which inhabit the lung as part of their normal life cycle include the worms (helminths) Ascaris lumbricoides, Strongyloides stercoralis and the hookworms Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus.

Nitroscanate is an anthelmintic drug used in veterinary medicine to treat Toxocara canis, Toxascaris leonina, Ancylostoma caninum, Uncinaria stenocephalia, Taenia, and Dipylidium caninum (roundworms, hookworms and tapeworms).
