Overview
Common causes of Ancylostomiasis include: Ancylostoma duodenale, Necator americanus, Ancylostoma ceylanicum, and Less common organisms include: Ancylostoma braziliense, Ancylostoma caninum, Ancylostoma ceylanicum, and Uncinaria stenocephala
Causes
They commonly infect the skin, eyes, and viscera in humans.
- Toxocara causes visceral larva migrans.[1]
Common cause
- Common causes of ancylostomiasis include the following organism:[2]
- Necator americanus: reach maturity in the human intestine.
- Ancylostoma duodenale: reach maturity in the human intestine.
- Ancylostoma ceylanicum also occurs in humans as an intestine-inhabiting adult but it is usually a parasite of cats, dogs and other carnivores.
- Less common organism include:[2][3]
- Ancylostoma braziliense: responsible for creeping eruption or cutaneous larva migrans, which survive in extra-intestinal sites and rarely mature in human.
- Ancylostoma caninum: occasionally reaches adulthood in humans, and causes eosinophilic enteritis
- Ancylostoma ceylanicum: only species that develops to adult in humans, and causes enteric hookworm infection
- Uncinaria stenocephala
