Caused by the parasitic roundworm Ascaris lumbricoides.
Particularly prevalent in tropical regions and in areas of poor hygiene.
Other species of the genus Ascaris are parasitic and can cause disease in domestic animals.

SOURCES From soil and vegetation on which fecal matter containing eggs has been deposited.
Ingestion of infective eggs from soil contaminated with human feces or transmission.
Contaminated vegetables and water
Intimate contact with pets in contact with soil.

DIAGNOSIS The diagnosis is usually incidental when the host passes a worm in the stool or vomit
Stool samples for ova and parasites will demonstrate Ascaris eggs.
Larvae may be found in gastric or respiratory secretions in pulmonary disease.
Blood counts may demonstrate peripheral eosinophilia.

INTRODUCTION
Ancylostomiasis is the condition of infection by Ancylostoma hookworms.
ancylos = crooked, bent stoma = mouth.
Caused when hookworms, present in large numbers, produce an iron deficiency anemia by sucking blood from the host's intestinal walls.
