If you drink infected water or eat infected meat, the hookworm larvae travel from your mouth to your small intestine. If hookworm larvae enter your body through your skin, they travel though the bloodstream to the lungs. The lungs and bronchial passages provide the perfect route to the throat. When the worms crawl into the throat, the person or animal swallows to clear the throat, which sends the worms into the digestive system.
In dogs, larval hookworms can be transmitted from the mother to puppies during pregnancy or through nursing (oral). Dogs, cats and other animals can get hookworms from the environment. Hookworm eggs are shed in the feces of infected animals and then hatch into larvae in the soil.ookworms are parasites that cause mild diarrhea in both people and animals. As their name suggests, they have hooks on their mouth that help them attach better to the intestines of their host. Humans affected can also develop a skin condition called cutaneous larva migrans.
