Since they are in the phylum Nematoda, hookworms have a psuedocoelom that they use for digesting food. -Hookworm eggs gain nutrients via the feces of the host that it has inhabited. -In the larval stage, hookworms are free-living in the soil.
Hookworms live in the small intestine. Hookworm eggs are passed in the feces of an infected person. If the infected person defecates outside (near bushes, in a garden, or field) of if the feces of an infected person are used as fertilizer, eggs are deposited on soil. They can then mature and hatch, releasing larvae (immature worms).
