Spatial and genetic epidemiology of hookworm in a rural community in Uganda.

PLoS neglected tropical diseases - 15 Jun 2010

Abstract excerpt

There are remarkably few contemporary, population-based studies of intestinal nematode infection for sub-Saharan Africa. This paper presents a comprehensive epidemiological analysis of hookworm infection intensity in a rural Ugandan community. Demographic, kinship, socioeconomic and environmental data were collected for 1,803 individuals aged six months to 85 years in 341 households in a cross-sectional community...
