Appropriateness of the current parasitological control target for hookworm morbidity: a statistical analysis of individual-level data

2022-03-09

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Soil-transmitted helminths affect almost 2 billion people globally. Hookworm species contribute to most of the related morbidity. Hookworms mainly cause anaemia, due to blood loss at the site of the attachment of the adult worms to the human intestinal mucosa. The World Health Organization (WHO) aims to eliminate hookworm morbidity by 2030 through achieving a prevalence of moderate and heavy in...
