Background: Cats are a host of wide variety of microorganisms including ectoparasites and endoparasites. One of the endoparasite that infect cats is hookworm. The hookworm consist of two groups, animal hookworm and the human hookworm. The manifestation that can be caused by animal hookworm to humans is Cutaneous Larva Migrant (CLM). Purpose: To find out that the hookworm in stray cats (Felis silvestris catus) can cause CLM in humans. Methods: This papers was written using literature review method by taking references from 49 international journals indexed Q1-Q3 on Scimagojr and 5 national journal indexed S1-S3 as well as 8 textbooks published no later than 2016. The libraries in form of journals and textbooks are obtained from search engines Google, Google Scholar, Pubmed, ScienceDirect, and NCBI. Results: The results of the analysis show that the high level of hookworm infection in stray cats can increase the risk of CLM in humans. Conclusion: The high prevalence of hookworm infection in cats plays an important role in the increased risk of zoonoses in humans which in turn can increase the prevalence of CLM in humans.
