#ancylostomacaninum eggs: #nematode also known as #hookworms of dogs, a principle parasite of the dogs, can also be seen in many other animals including wolves, foxes, cats and humans. #larvae of this spp. of nematode cause #cutaneouslarvamigrans (CLM) in humans by transdermal migration. One special feature of this parasite is it can cause #transplacentaltransmission in neonates by crossing the placenta from the bitch. It can also infect the young ones by #transmammarymigration through colostrum and milk.

Holy rounds and hooks! This little doggy had alllll the toxocara canis and ancylostoma caninum eggs. (I couldn't find a view that showed a bunch of the hookworm eggs). While it does give me great joy to get a bunch of fecals where I don't observe any parasites; this excited me wayyyy too much! #parasites #eggs #veterinarymedicine #futureVet #toxacaracanis #ancylostomacaninum #parasitology #vetstudent #squallymuffin
