Ancylostoma duodenale

The average lifespan of Ancylostoma duodenale is one year.

He later described the species as Ancylostoma duodenale.

Ancylostoma duodenale is a species of the worm genus Ancylostoma.

Ancylostoma duodenale is small cylindrical worm, greyish-white in color.

Ancylostoma duodenale can be treated with albendazole, mebendazole and benzimidazoles.

The eggs of Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus cannot be distinguished.

Transmission of Ancylostoma duodenale is by contact of skin with soil contaminated with larvae.

The life cycle is similar to that of the human hookworms, Necator americanus and Ancylostoma duodenale.

Two species of hookworms commonly infect humans, Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus.

Ancylostomiasis (Ancylostoma duodenale infection)

Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus are the two human hookworms that are normally discussed together as the cause of hookworm infection.

Infective larvae of Necator americanus can survive at higher temperatures, whereas those of Ancylostoma duodenale are better adapted to cooler climates.

The nematode parasites Necator americanus and Ancylostoma duodenale cause human hookworm infection which leads to anaemia and protein malnutrition.

Soil-transmitted helminthiasis (infection of Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, Necator americanus, Ancylostoma duodenale)

Ancylostoma duodenale is prevalent in southern Europe, northern Africa, India, China, and southeast Asia, small areas of United States, the Caribbean islands, and South America.

Hookworms, parasitic nematodes transmitted in soil, infect approximately 700 million humans, particularly in tropical regions of the world where endemic hookworms include Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus.

Remembered for his extensive research of Ancylostoma duodenale (hookworm), in 1880 he determined that hookworm was the cause of anemia being suffered by workmen building the St. Gotthard railway tunnel.

Important parasites which inhabit the lung as part of their normal life cycle include the worms (helminths) Ascaris lumbricoides, Strongyloides stercoralis and the hookworms Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus.

Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, Necator americanus, Ancylostoma duodenale, schistosomes and filarial worms collectively infect more than a billion people, rivalling HIV/AIDS and malaria.

In the lab, Walter (John Noble) posits the creatures are gigantic parasitic worms, a modified version of Ancylostoma duodenale, that needs hosts for their gestation period, hence the distribution of parasitic pills.

It was first described in 1932 by Wilhelm Löffler in cases of eosinophilic pneumonia caused by the parasites Ascaris lumbricoides, Strongyloides stercoralis and the hookworms Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus.

Since N. americanus and Ancylostoma duodenale (also known as Old World hookworm) are the two species of hookworms that most commonly infest humans, they are usually dealt with under the collective heading of "hookworm infection".

Verweij, Jaco J, Eric A T Brienen, et al. "Simultaneous detection and quantification of Ancylostoma duodenale, Necator americanus and Oesophagostomum bifurcum in fecal samples using multiplex real-time PCR.

True teeth are unique to vertebrates, although some invertebrates have structures have analogous structures sometimes called "teeth" - the organism with the simplest genome bearing such "teeth" is probably the worm genus Ancylostoma (Ancylostoma duodenale, Necator americanus).

An interesting consequence of this in the case of Ancylostoma duodenale infection is translactational transmission of infection: the skin-invasive larvae of this species do not all immediately pass through the lungs and on into the gut, but spread around the body via the circulation, to become dormant inside muscle fibers.
