[[Ancylostomatoidea|Hook worm]]
 
''Ancylostoma caninum'' is found rarely in Britain, but is a major pathogen of dogs in many warmer regions of the world. It may be brought into the UK with dogs entering from abroad. ''A. caninum'' is an avid blood-sucker, so heavy infections lead to severe anaemia, especially in unweaned pups.
