Species include:
: ''[[Ancylostoma braziliense]]'', commonly infects cats, popularly known in Brazil as "bicho-geográfico"
: ''[[Ancylostoma caninum]]'', commonly infects dogs''
: ''[[Ancylostoma ceylanicum]]''
: ''[[Ancylostoma duodenale]]''
: ''[[Ancylostoma pluridentatum]]'', commonly infects [[sylvatic]] cats
: ''[[Ancylostoma tubaeforme]]'', infects cats along with other hosts
==Prevention==
Control of this parasite should be directed against reducing the level of
environmental contamination. Treatment of heavily infected individuals is one
way to reduce the source of contamination (one study has estimated that 60% of
the total worm burden resides in less than 10% of the population). Other
obvious methods are to improve access to [[sanitation]], e.g. [[toilets]], but also
convincing people to maintaining them in a clean, functional state, thereby making
them conducive to use.
