ancylostomiasis and ascariasis in dogswill it go to humans does it going to people,hurt us

Thank goodness for people like Chetco.

Ancylostoma are indeed hookworms, not tapeworms (the most common species of which are Dipylidium, not Taenia. <---note the proper spelling.) Yes, they can infect humans in 2 ways: 1. Cutaneous larval migrans is caused when the eggs hatch into larvae in muddy areas, then enter a human's skin (most often by walking barefoot) and cause a rash. It is also known as "plumber's itch".which is more widespread over the body, because of how they often have to lie in the mud to do their work.

2. If ingested orally, they can cause intestinal and other organ problems. (This is generally only a problem of people like young children who might be playing in the dirt where an infected animal has defecated, then put his hands into his mouth without first washing them.)

Ascarids are indeed roundworms. They can cause something in humans called visceral larval migrans, with the larvae getting 'stuck' (for lack of a better word) in one of the internal organs. Their most common destination in humans seems to be the eye, and they can cause blindness. They are ingested in the same way I mentioned for hookworms above.

Both can cause eosinophila (an elevated eosinophil count on the CBC), and both can cause enteritis, but it's not generally an eosinophilic enteritis..which is slightly different.

Both are easily treated (and then prevented from recurring)..thus avoiding all of the above scenarios, which are somewhat rare to start with. What IS rare is finding a puppy or kitten who was not born with these worms. So, that alone is not reason to return the puppy. These worm eggs live in the soil for a long, long time..and were probably there before you even got THIS puppy. Shelters and human societies are notorious for underdosing the medication used to treat these parasites..which has caused them to develop some resistance and now require even higher doses to eliminate them. It can easily be done by your DVM, however.
