Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
The incidence rate of hookworm infection was 7.5/100 person-years.[1]
Age
Ancylostomiasis commonly affects children and women of childbearing age because of their particular need for micronutrients.[2]
Mortality
Hookworms still account for high proportion of debilitating disease in the tropics and 50-60,000 deaths per year can be attributed to this disease. [3]
