Ancylostoma duodenale
''Ancylostoma duodenale'' is a species of the worm genus ''Ancylostoma''. It is a parasitic nematode worm and commonly known as the Old World hookworm. It lives in the small intestine of hosts such as humans, cats and dogs, where it is able to mate and mature. ''Ancylostoma duodenale'' and ''Necator americanus'' are the two human hookworms that are normally discussed together as the cause of hookworm infection. They are dioecious. ''Ancylostoma duodenale'' is abundant throughout the world, including in the following areas: southern Europe, north Africa, India, China, southeast Asia, some areas in the United States, the Caribbean, and South America.
==Characteristics==
''Ancylostoma duodenale'' is small cylindrical worm, greyish-white in color. It has two ventral plates on the anterior margin of the buccal capsule. Each of them has two large teeth that are fused at their bases. A pair of small teeth can be found in the depths of the buccal capsule. Males are 8 mm to 11 mm long with a copulatory bursa at the posterior end. Females are 10 mm to 13 mm long, with the vulva located at the posterior end; females can lay 10,000 to 30,000 eggs per day. The average lifespan of ''Ancylostoma duodenale'' is one year.
When a rhabditiform larva "infective" penetrates the intact skin, most commonly through the feet and the larva enters the blood circulation. It is then carried to the lungs, they break into alveoli, ascend the bronchi and trachea and are coughed up, and swallowed back into the small intestine where they mature. The larva later matures into an adult in the small intestine "the adult worm live in the jejunum mainly" where they attach to the villi and female worms can lay 25,000 eggs per day. The eggs are released into the feces and reside on soil, when deposited on warm, moist soil a larva rapidly develops in the egg and hatches after 1-2 days. This Rhabditiform larva moults twice in the soil and become a skin- penetrating 3rd stage infective larva within 5-10 days. The Rhabditiform larvae can then penetrate the exposed skin of another organism and begin a new cycle of infection.
''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. This hookworm is well known in mines because of the consistency in temperature and humidity that provide an ideal habitat for egg and juvenile development. It is estimated 1 billion people are infected with hookworms. Transmission of ''Ancylostoma duodenale'' is by contact of skin with soil contaminated with larvae. The way ''Ancylostoma duodenale'' enters the human body was understood in the 1880s, after an epidemic of ancylostomiasis among miners working in the hot and humid Gotthard Tunnel (Switzerland).〔E. Bugnion, ("On the epidemic caused by Ankylostomum among the eorkmen in the St. Gothard Tunnel" ), ''British Medical Journal'', volume 1, page 382, 1881.〕〔R. Peduzzi and J.-C. Piffaretti, ("Ancylostoma duodenale and the Saint Gothard anaemia" ), ''British Medical Journal'', volume 287, pages 1942–1945, 1983.〕
