There are many different species of hookworm. The scientific name for the genera that contain hookworms are necator and ancylostoma.
The common name for Enterobius vermicularis is the pinworm, which is known for causing enterobiasis, particularly in children. Ancylostoma duodenale is commonly referred to as the hookworm, which can lead to hookworm infection, often associated with anemia and malnutrition. Both parasites are significant in public health, especially in areas with poor sanitation.
The most effective treatment for Ancylostoma caninum infection in dogs is typically a deworming medication prescribed by a veterinarian, such as fenbendazole or pyrantel pamoate. It is important to follow the veterinarian's instructions for dosage and administration to effectively eliminate the parasite. Regular preventative measures, such as monthly heartworm preventatives that also target intestinal parasites, can help reduce the risk of re-infection.
Assuming you mean "scientific name", there are several varieties, all of which have a specific host target. One common in America is termed Necator Americanus and another significant human paricite is Ancylostoma duodenale.

Yes, hookworm is the name for two species of worms: Ancylostoma Duodenale and Necator Americanus. They produce anemia because they suck blood from the intestinal mucosa and damage it. The result is a loss of protein and iron.
Examples of nematodes, a type of nemathelminth, include roundworms such as Ascaris lumbricoides (which causes ascariasis) and hookworms like Ancylostoma duodenale (which causes hookworm infection in humans). These parasites typically infect the intestines of their hosts and can cause various health issues.
Examples of roundworm parasites include Ascaris lumbricoides, which can cause intestinal infections in humans, and hookworms like Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus, which infect the intestines and may cause anemia. Trichinella spiralis is another roundworm parasite that can be ingested by consuming undercooked meat, leading to trichinosis.
