Hookworms 

Conclusion
Prevention and control

Last week we dealt with specific hookworm treatment (ie which medication could be used to kill/expel these beasties).

‘Prevention,’ as mentioned above, might be too ambitious a concept. Once your dog (or your child) lives in this type of environment, you can be sure that there are worms waiting to invade the body. We may introduce regimes to diminish the possiblity of infection, but a total prevention of invasion is, in all probability, unattainable.
