Other hookworm infections
 species penetrate the skin, they wander in the skin, causing an itchy rash called Cutaneous Larva Migrans . Rarely, larvae of an animal hookworm,Ancylostoma caninum, travel to the intestine. In such cases, people may have no symptoms or may have abdominal pain. The number of eosinophils (a type of white blood cell) may increase in the intestine and blood, as occurs in some worm infections. This condition is known as eosinophilic enteritis. These infections do not cause blood loss and anemia in people.
