Article Synopsis
- Ancylostoma spp., particularly A. caninum, are hookworms found in urban and rural areas of Ecuador, transmitted through infected soil and contact with animals, potentially leading to diseases like cutaneous larva migrans.
- The study analyzed 498 domestic dogs and 40 rodents for hookworm infection using various diagnostic methods and surveyed 236 people, assessing environmental and social factors influencing transmission.
- Results showed a significant rate of infection in dogs (20%) and a small number in rodents (2.5%), with a few human cases of cutaneous larva migrans, indicating a risk of spreading ancylostomiasis.
