A helminthological survey of the intestinal parasites in stray dogs was conducted in urban and suburban area of Tacuarembó, Uruguay, during winter time. Eighty stray dogs captured in the city were necropsied. Seventy nine dogs (98.8%) were positive for helminth infection. Seventy seven (96.3%) were parasitized by hookworms. Two species of hookworms were found: Ancylostoma caninum 96.3% and A. braziliense 49.4%. This is the first report of the prevalence of A. braziliense in Uruguay. Considering that incidences of human cutaneous larva migrans caused by the migration of hookworms larvae were restricted mainly to the northern part of Uruguay and that only A. caninum were reported to be prevalent in the southern part, it is supposed that A. braziliense is the primary causative agent of human cutaneous larva migrans in Uruguay.
在乌拉圭塔夸伦博市的城市和郊区，于冬季对流浪狗的肠道寄生虫进行了一项蠕虫学调查。对在该市捕获的80只流浪狗进行了尸检。79只狗（98.8%）有蠕虫感染呈阳性。77只（96.3%）感染了钩虫。发现了两种钩虫：犬钩虫占96.3%，巴西钩虫占49.4%。这是乌拉圭首次关于巴西钩虫流行率的报告。鉴于由钩虫幼虫迁移引起的人类皮肤幼虫移行症的发病率主要局限于乌拉圭北部，且据报道南部仅犬钩虫流行，推测巴西钩虫是乌拉圭人类皮肤幼虫移行症的主要病原体。
