Hookworm In Dog Who Is Dangerous No.

Parasitical Worms.com Dog hookworms with scientific names Ancylostoma caninum, Ancylostoma braziliensis, Uncinaria stenocephala live in cats and dogs' intestines, eggs separate from feces sticking to soil, sandbanks, lawns, plant pots.
In hot and humid conditions, the egg quickly hatches with a rhabditiform larva, which within a few days hatches into an infectious filariform larva. When people come into contact with soil, sand, etc., the larvae burrow through the skin, but because collagenase enzyme does not dissipate human veins, it cannot return to the lungs (as when it penetrates the skin of dogs and cats)
