Many species of hookworms (Families: Ancylostomatidae and Uncinariidae) are known to infect carnivores and ruminants including dogs, cats, foxes, wolves, swine, cattle, sheep, goats, alpaca, llama, deer, seals, and elephants. Hookworms live in the small intestine of the host, males and females mate, and the eggs produced are excreted in the feces. Infective larvae penetrate the skin and infect the next host, migrating through the body to the small intestine where they reach sexual maturity. Hookworms attach to the lining of the small intestine where they suck blood, resulting in hemorrhages and anemia.
