The direct examination must be done on a stool sample that is freshly collected and not allowed to cool down, because hookworm eggs hatch on cooling and the larvae are very difficult to distinguish from Strongyloides. [citation needed] Finding Strongyloides in the stool is negative in up to 70% of tests. It is important to undergo frequent ...
Strongyloides stercoralis is a human pathogenic parasitic roundworm causing the disease strongyloidiasis. Its common name in the US is threadworm . In the UK and Australia, however, the term threadworm can also refer to nematodes of the genus Enterobius , otherwise known as pinworms .
Strongyloides (from Greek strongylos, round, + eidos, resemblance), anguillula, or threadworm is a genus of small nematode parasites, belonging to the family Strongylidae, commonly found in the small intestine of mammals (particularly ruminants), that are characterized by an unusual lifecycle that involves one or several generations of free ...
This is caused by Strongyloides stercoralis.Even though the disease is principally a soil-transmitted helminthiasis, the infection being mediated through contaminated soil, it is however generally omitted in clinical practices and control programmes because of its (allegedly) relatively less significant influence on health and socio-economic conditions.
Strongyloides westeri, commonly referred to as intestinal threadworm, is a species of small nematode parasite in the family Strongylidae.Strongyloides (from Greek strongylos, round, + eidos, resemblance) are commonly found in the small intestine of mammals (generally horses and monkeys, specifically foals), that are characterized by an unusual lifecycle (Larvae II, III) that involves one ...

Infection with the dwarf nematode Strongyloides canis can occur by ingestion of infectious larvae via the mother's milk, peroral ingestion or by active penetration of the larvae through the skin. Autoinfection, i.e., infection of the same animal by larvae excreted by it, is possible.
