Life Cycle of Hook Worm Model
Product Code : JC-BE-5204
The Life Cycle of Hook Worm Model by Jaincolab is a biology teaching model depicting the developmental cycle of hookworms (Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus), soil transmitted nematode parasites of humans. Designed for zoology, parasitology and public health laboratories, this hookworm life cycle teaching model illustrates the route of infection from soil to the human intestine.
Adult hookworms live attached to the wall of the small intestine, where they feed on blood, and lay eggs that are passed out in feces. In warm, moist soil, these eggs hatch into non-infective rhabditiform larvae, which feed on soil bacteria and molt twice to become infective filariform larvae. These larvae penetrate human skin, most often through bare feet, enter the bloodstream and travel to the lungs, ascend the respiratory tract, and are swallowed, eventually reaching the small intestine where they mature into adults and complete the cycle. This Jaincolab biology equipment model presents this soil-to-human transmission cycle clearly for classroom study.
Life Cycle Stages Depicted
| Stage | Description |
|---|---|
| Egg | Passed in human feces into soil |
| Rhabditiform Larva | Hatches in soil and feeds on bacteria |
| Filariform Larva | Infective stage that penetrates human skin |
| Migration Through Lungs | Larvae travel via bloodstream to the lungs and up the airway |
| Adult in Small Intestine | Mature worm attaches to the gut wall and feeds on blood |
