Dogs, cats and other. animals can get hookworms from the. environment. Hookworm eggs are. shed in the feces of infected animals. and then hatch into larvae in the soil. Animals may ingest the worms from. the soil.
The hookworm is a parasitic nematode worm that lives in the small intestine of its host-eg, dog, cat or human. Two species of hookworms commonly infect humans, Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus. Some A. duodenale larvae, following penetration of the host skin, can become dormant in the intestine or muscle. 2  Infection by A. duodenale can probably also occur by the oral route, but N. americanus requires a transpulmonary migration phase.
