Our study aimed to identify hookworm species from stray dogs, humans, and selected wildlife from South Africa. A total of 356 faecal samples were screened for the presence of hookworm-like eggs and subsequently coproculture from the positive samples was carried out to obtain larvae. Hookworm-like eggs were detected in 23.03% (82\/356) of samples. Of these samples, 78\/296 were from dogs, 3\/50 from humans and 1\/10 from wildlife. DNA was then isolated from the larvae of 55 positive samples, which were subjected to polymerase chain reaction (PCR), polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and sequencing of the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS1) and 5.8S rRNA region. Presence of <jats:italic>Ancylostoma caninum<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>A. braziliense<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>A. ceylanicum-<\/jats:italic>like species was recorded in stray dogs and <jats:italic>A. caninum<\/jats:italic> was recorded in wildlife and humans, using PCR-RFLP. Although PCR-RFLP results pointed to the presence of <jats:italic>A. ceylanicum<\/jats:italic>, we did not get a sequence that matched with <jats:italic>A. ceylanicum<\/jats:italic> from GenBank. This may have been due to the low proportion of <jats:italic>A. ceylanicum<\/jats:italic> larvae in our samples. Twenty-two of the 27 positive amplicons from stray dogs matched with <jats:italic>A. caninum<\/jats:italic>, three with <jats:italic>A. braziliense<\/jats:italic> and two had mixed infections of <jats:italic>A. braziliense<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>A. caninum<\/jats:italic>. Sequences from a lion and three humans matched with <jats:italic>A. caninum<\/jats:italic>. This is the first confirmation of a patent <jats:italic>A. caninum<\/jats:italic> infection in humans as evidenced by the presence of eggs in faeces, with the subsequent larvae from coproculture being identified as <jats:italic>A. caninum.<\/jats:italic><\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0022149x19000130","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,21]],"date-time":"2019-02-21T05:45:23Z","timestamp":1550727923000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["Molecular identification of hookworm isolates from stray dogs, humans and selected wildlife from South Africa"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"94","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1086-9522","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"P.
