Presentation

Abstract The enteric infection of humans with the canine hookworm Ancylostoma caninum varies in its clinical presentation, ranging from asymptomatic to eosinophilic gastroenteritis requiring surgical intervention. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Entire Body System

  • Anemia

    Abstract Hookworms, bloodfeeding intestinal nematodes, are a leading cause of iron deficiency anemia in the developing world. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    It includes melena, pallor of mucosae, hyperpnea, poor exercise tolerance, anasarca, and anemia. Called also hookworm disease. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

    Common Name: Dog Hookworm Clade: Clade V Disease: Hookworms attach to capillary beds in the small intestine of a host where they suck blood resulting in anemia. The dog hookworm can be used as a disease model for the human hookworm. Animal parasite. [nematode.net]

  • Disability

    When considering disability-adjusted-life-years (DALYs), neglected tropical diseases, including hookworm, rank among diarrheal diseases, ischemic heart disease, malaria, and tubercolosis as one of the most important health problems of the developing world [web.stanford.edu]

    For example, it is estimated that the morbidity attributable to hookworms, Trichuris and Ascaris, the three most prevalent parasitic nematodes in humans globally, could be as high as 39 disability adjusted life years (DALY) [1]. [journals.plos.org]

  • Fever

    During pulmonary migration, the host may develop a mild reactive cough, sore throat, and fever that resolve after the worm migrates into the intestines. [emedicine.medscape.com]

    Strachan who noted that hay fever and eczema were less common in children who belonged to large families [70]. [web.stanford.edu]

  • Pediatric Disease

  • Pallor

    It includes melena, pallor of mucosae, hyperpnea, poor exercise tolerance, anasarca, and anemia. Called also hookworm disease. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

Respiratoric

  • Pharyngitis

    Hc -NIM-1 is expressed in the hypodermis of the pharyngeal region of the adult worm [50]. Lastly, SSH contigs 0099 and 0032 were among the most highly up-regulated mRNAs in activated L3 of A. caninum, with log ratios of ∼4.7 and 5.9, respectively. [journals.plos.org]

    When A. duodenale is transmitted orally, the early migrations of the larvae cause Wakana disease which is characterized by nausea, vomiting, pharyngeal irritation, cough, dyspnea, and hoarseness [10]. [web.stanford.edu]

  • Pneumonia

    Two examples of a secondary infection are: A vaginal yeast infection after taking antibiotics to treat an infection caused by bacteria Pneumonia caused by bacteria after having an upper respiratory infection (like a cold) that was caused by a virus Dockrell [nlm.nih.gov]

Gastrointestinal

  • Abdominal Pain

    The aim of this study was to evaluate patients with unexplained abdominal pain and a possible association with cryptic infections by A. caninum. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Abstract Ancylostoma caninum is responsible for cases with eosinophilic enteritis (EE) and unexplained abdominal pain with peripheral eosinophilia in man. [pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Occasionally, a larva has completed the cycle through the lungs and into the intestine of humans and developed into a mature adult causing eosinophilia and abdominal pain - a condition known as eosinophilic enteritis. (Croese, J. et al. 1994. [parasite.org.au]

  • Diarrhea

    The image below (image 1) shows a dog 'straining to defecate' and producing mucoid, slimy, blood-filled faeces (this particular dog was actually producing the horrendous, bloody, slime-filled diarrhea seen in image 4). [pet-informed-veterinary-advice-online.com]

    Once the larvae reach the small intestine of the host and begin to mature, the infected individual may suffer from diarrhea and other gastrointestinal discomfort [5]. [web.stanford.edu]

Skin

  • Cutaneous Larva Migrans

    This is the first reported case of a cutaneous larva migrans caused by Ancylostoma canimum diagnosed serologically using ELISA in Korea. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    larva migrans and Elisa for Toxocara canis was performed. [iovs.arvojournals.org]

    Usually these cause an aberrant infection, “creeping eruption” or cutaneous larva migrans. This disease is characterized by serpiginous tunnels in the skin caused by migrations of larvae that are unable to penetrate the innermost layers. Read More [britannica.com]

    Hookworms mainly cause cutaneous disease in dogs (Hookworm Dermatosis) and man (Cutaneous Larva Migrans). [en.wikivet.net]

  • Skin Disease

    A skin disease caused by larvae of Ancylostoma caninum is naturally of much interest in itself. [jamanetwork.com]

  • Skin Lesion

    The skin lesions were pruritic and erythematous, and had migrated to the chest and abdomen. The histopathological findings showed only lymphocytic and eosinophilic infiltrations in the dermis of the biopsied skin lesion. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Workup

Microbiology

  • Ancylostoma Caninum

    A Western blot with anti-Ancylostoma caninum surface-associated antigen-1 specific antiserum showed that native Ancylostoma caninum surface-associated antigen-1 protein is expressed by both L(3) and adult hookworms; RT-PCR confirmed that the mRNA is transcribed [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    About Ancylostoma caninum The nematode Ancylostoma caninum, or dog hookworm, causes disease in dogs resulting in severe anaemia and death. [parasite.wormbase.org]

    Buccal capsule of adult worm of Ancylostoma caninum. Ancylostoma caninum is a common parasite of dogs. A wide buccal capsule bearing three pairs of ventral teeth is a diagnostic character of the species. [atlas.or.kr]

  • Necator Americanus

    Recently, recombinant vaccines that interrupt the digestion of blood in the hookworm gut have shown efficacy, so we explored the intestinal transcriptomes of the human and canine hookworms, Necator americanus and Ancylostoma caninum, respectively. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
