Image 33: There were many cats and their feces in the vicinity of the hotel and no dogs. Many individuals got cutaneous larva migrans in the same week at this hotel. A common cause is Ancylostoma braziliense, a hookworm of cats and dogs but, in fact, I do not know what hookworm it was. (Frenette et al; Trop Med Int Hlth 5: 330-334; 2000)
