Presentation
These same hookworm-infected individuals also presented significantly down-regulated expression of CD86, CD1a, HLA-ABC, and HLA-DR. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Thrombosis
The genome sequence therefore represents a veritable pharmacopoeia—indeed, recombinant hookworm molecules have already undergone clinical trials for stroke and deep-vein thrombosis 15. [doi.org]
Skin

Formication
The CHO2-secondary ion, a formic acid functional group, is distributed over both cuticle and sheath; however, it is located in greater abundance on the cuticle. [journals.plos.org]

Treatment
Albendazole, 400 mg, as a single dose treatment was shown to be superior to mebendazole, 600 mg, single dose for the mass treatment of hookworm infection, especially that of Necator americanus, in an endemic area. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
3 months post larval inoculum, or at study withdrawal, 3-dose treatment with 400 mg albendazole [clinicaltrials.gov]
Prognosis
Most individuals are completely cured of the infection Please find comprehensive information on Ancylostomiasis regarding definition, distribution, risk factors, causes, signs & symptoms, diagnosis, complications, treatment, prevention, prognosis, and [dovemed.com]
Immediate prognosis is good, but the likelihood of reinfection constitutes a major health problem. Periodic mass treatment of the population has been used in some hookworm control programs. [britannica.com]
Etiology
Worldwidely, N. americanus accounts for the predominant etiology of human hookworm infection, whereas A. duodenale occurs in more scattered focal environments ( 2 ). [synapse.koreamed.org]
Worldwide, N. americanus is the predominant etiology of human hookworm infection, whereas A. duodenale occurs in more scattered focal environments [ 3 ]. [doi.org]
The major etiology of Hookworm infection is N. Americanus which is found the Americas, sub-Saharan Africa, and Asia [29]. A. duodenale is found in more scattered focal environments, namely Europe and the Mediterranean [30]. [web.stanford.edu]
Epidemiology
These observations could have considerable bearing on the interpretation of data from sero-epidemiological studies which failed to take account of concurrent infection with these parasites. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prevention

In order to prevent childhood hookworm disease in resource poor settings, a recombinant vaccine is under development by the Sabin Vaccine Institute and Texas Children's Hospital Center for Vaccine Development, a Product Development Partnership (PDP). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
