[Differentiating the morphology of infective larvae between two human hookworms].

ABSTRACT

The morphological differentiation of the infective larvae between human Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus is of great significance for the epidemiological survey of hookworm diseases and human parasitology teaching. Understanding of features of the oral spear and transverse lines on the tunica vaginalis is able to accurately differentiate the infective larvae between these two human hookworms.
