Abstract

[Extract] Hookworms are blood-sucking parasites of the small intestine that belong to the order Strongylida, superfamily Ancylostomatoidea. They are characterised by a large buccal capsule that is 'bent' dorsally so the anterior end resembles a 'hook' and males have a well-developed bursa. Dogs can be infected by any of the following species of hookworms: Ancylostoma caninum, Ancylostoma braziliense, Ancylostoma ceylanicum and Uncinaria stenocephala. In addition, cats can also be infected with Ancylostoma tubaeforme and, rarely, with Uncinaria stenocephala.
