is characterized by pruritus at the site of larval penetration. In mild infections,
this disease may be asymptomatic; in moderate to severe infections, this disease may
present with cough, pharyngeal irritation during larval migration in airways, iron-deficiency
anaemia, abdominal pain, nausea, bloody diarrhoea, fatigue, or delayed development
(mental or physical). Transmission is by direct contact with larvae from soil or sand
contaminated with dog or cat faeces (by percutaneous migration of larvae), ingestion
of larvae, or vertical transmission. Confirmation is by identification of Ancylostoma
in a faecal sample.;
