Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
The incidence rate of hookworm infection was 7.5/100 person-years.[1]
Prevalence
- Prevalence of Ancylostomiasis is approximately 1 billion people worlwide.
- The prevalence of ancylostomiasis in children increases with age, and typically reaches a plateau in late adolescence, whereas the intensity may continue to increase throughout adulthood.[2]
Age
Ancylostomiasis commonly affects children and women of childbearing age because of their particular need for micronutrients.[3]
Mortality
Mortality rate of Hookworms in the tropics is approximately 50-60,000 deaths per year.[4]
Developing Countries
