Overview

Necator americanus and Ancylostoma duodenale were responsible for all human hookworm infections mentioned by Bethony et al ( 2006), de Silva et al.(2003), however Bradbury & Traub (2016) and Traub et al. (2008) mentioned Ancylostoma ceylanicum is also an important hookworm of humans, especially in Southeast Asia.
