Abstract：
Ancylostoma ceylanicum hookworms are zoonotic parasites that can infect humans. To detect autochthonous transmission, we analyzed human fecal samples collected in 2000. Multiparallel quantitative PCR detected infection in persons who had never traveled outside Ecuador. These data indicate human transmission of A. ceylanicum in the Americas, although endemicity remains unknown.
摘要：
头孢钩虫是人畜共患寄生虫，可以感染人类。为了检测本地传输，我们分析了2000年收集的人类粪便样本。多重平行定量PCR检测从未在厄瓜多尔以外旅行的人的感染。这些数据表明，在美洲，头孢霉素的人类传播，尽管地方性仍然未知。
