| Species include:
| |
| : ''[[Ancylostoma braziliense]]'', commonly infects cats, popularly known in Brazil as "bicho-geográfico"
| |
| : ''[[Ancylostoma caninum]]'', commonly infects dogs''
| |
| : ''[[Ancylostoma ceylanicum]]''
| |
| : ''[[Ancylostoma duodenale]]''
| |
| : ''[[Ancylostoma pluridentatum]]'', commonly infects [[sylvatic]] cats
| |
| : ''[[Ancylostoma tubaeforme]]'', infects cats along with other hosts
| |
|
| |
| ==Prevention==
| |
| Control of this parasite should be directed against reducing the level of
| |
| environmental contamination. Treatment of heavily infected individuals is one
| |
| way to reduce the source of contamination (one study has estimated that 60% of
| |
| the total worm burden resides in less than 10% of the population). Other
| |
| obvious methods are to improve access to [[sanitation]], e.g. [[toilets]], but also
| |
| convincing people to maintaining them in a clean, functional state, thereby making
| |
| them conducive to use.
