Of dogs and hookworms: man's best friend and his parasites as a model for translational biomedical research
C Shepherd, P Wangchuk, A Loukas - Parasites & vectors, 2018 - Springer
We present evidence that the dog hookworm (Ancylostoma caninum) is underutilised in the
study of host-parasite interactions, particularly as a proxy for the human-hookworm …
