Cutaneous Larva Migrans (CLM) refers to a cutaneous reaction to the migration of zoonotic parasite larvae within the skin.  The major causes of CLM in humans in the UK are the larvae of the [[:Category:Ancylostomatoidea|hookworms]], ''[[Ancylostoma caninum]]'' and ''[[Uncinaria stenocephala]]''.  Other causative larvae are those of the avian schistosomes, ''Strongyloides westeri'' and ''papillosus'' and ''Pelodera strongyloides''.
