Dietary iron content mediates hookworm pathogenesis in vivo.

Infection and immunity - 1 Jan 2006

Held Melissa R, Bungiro Richard D, Harrison Lisa M, Hamza Iqbal, Cappello Michael

Abstract excerpt

Hookworm infection is associated with growth delay and iron deficiency anemia in developing countries. A series of experiments were designed in order to test the hypothesis that host dietary iron restriction mediates susceptibility to hookworm infection using the hamster model of Ancylostoma ceylanicum. Animals were maintained on diets containing either 10 ppm iron (iron restricted) or 200 ppm iron (standard/high...
