  • Cat Hookworm: What You Should Know
    Parasites, such as cat hookworm, are a common cat health problem. In all, there are four, or possibly three (sources seem to disagree), types of hookworm that use cats as hosts. The feline hookworm is Ancylostoma tubaeforme. Ancylostoma braziliense is the canine and feline hookworm, and Uncinaria stenocephala is known as the northern canine hookworm. The canine hookworm, Ancylostoma caninum, is said by some sources to only infects foxes, possibly human, and of course dogs. Other sources include it in the list of cat parasites.
