Hookworm infection is also known as ancylostomiasis. Humans get infected by coming in contact with hookworm larvae or eggs that are present in soil or feces. The larvae of the hookworm enter the skin through feet usually and get into the blood stream to reach the lungs. Once in the lungs, they will travel up to the trachea or the windpipe and are swallowed.
Tapeworm infestation occurs when eating improperly cooked meat or by petting an animal that is infected. Tapeworms can commonly affect animals such as dogs and cats. Adult tapeworms have a head, a neck and a segmented body, with reproductive organs in each segment that produce eggs.
