Abstract

[Extract] Ancylostoma ceylanicum is a soil-transmitted helminth recognised as the second most common hookworm species (after Necator americanus) infecting humans in the Asia Pacific region. In contrast to the human-specific hookworms N. americanus and Ancylostoma duodenale, A. ceylanicum is zoonotic, with canids as the primary reservoir for human infection. Thus, the distribution of human infections largely mirrors that of dogs. A. ceylanicum displays a direct life cycle with adult parasites residing in the small intestine of the definitive hosts.
