چکیده
To the Editor, The Indian ivikijiuau uamuc. Dear Sir,?I shall be thankful if any of your readers, especially those who are engaged on research on the subject, will kindly enlighten me on the following points:? (1) What is the average life of a hookworm, Ancylostoma duodenale or Necator americanus? (2) What can happen to an untreated person who has got a very mild infection of hookworm and who is not exposed to further infection? Evidently he is not liable to automatic re-infection, as in the case of thread

First report of Ancylostoma tubaeforme in Persian Leopard (Panthera pardus saxicolor)
Ancylostoma tubaeforme was originally described as a separate species parasitizing the cat. The adults of A. tubaeforme are 7 to 12 mm long. A. tubaeforme can be differentiated from the adults of A. braziliense and A. ceylanicum by the presence of three teeth. Here we describe the first report of A. tubaeforme in a Persian young female leopard, 2-3 years old, with head and trunk length 120 cent...
متن کاملIdentification of Ancylostoma ceylanicum in children from a tribal community in Tamil Nadu, India using a semi-nested PCR-RFLP tool.
BACKGROUND It is generally assumed that hookworm infections in humans are caused by Necator americanus and Ancylostoma duodenale. However, previous studies have also reported the presence of the animal hookworm A. ceylanicum in human stools. METHODS We determined hookworm infections in children in a tribal community in Tamil Nadu, India, using a semi-nested PCR-RFLP approach. RESULTS The re...
متن کاملEndoparasites with Zoonotic Potential in Domesticated Dogs
Contact with the soil, fomites or hands contaminated with the animals’ feces favors accidental human infection either through ingestion of Toxocara canis embryonic eggs, resulting in Visceral Larva Migrans (VLM) syndrome (Coelho et al., 2001), or through percutaneous penetration of Ancylostoma caninum and Ancylostoma braziliense infective larvae, causing Cutaneous Larva Migrans (CLM) Syndrome (...
متن کاملMolecular Identification of Ancylostoma caninum Isolated from Cats in Southern China Based on Complete ITS Sequence
Ancylostoma caninum is a blood-feeding parasitic intestinal nematode which infects dogs, cats, and other mammals throughout the world. A highly sensitive and species-specific PCR-RFLP technique was utilised to detect the prevalence of A. caninum in cats in Guangzhou, southern China. Of the 102 fecal samples examined, the prevalence of A. caninum in cats was 95.1% and 83.3% using PCR-RFLP and mi...
متن کاملA novel, species-specific, real-time PCR assay for the detection of the emerging zoonotic parasite Ancylostoma ceylanicum in human stool
BACKGROUND Molecular-based surveys have indicated that Ancylostoma ceylanicum, a zoonotic hookworm, is likely the second most prevalent hookworm species infecting humans in Asia. Most current PCR-based diagnostic options for the detection of Ancylostoma species target the Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) regions of the ribosomal gene cluster. These regions possess a considerable degree of cons...
