DOI: 10.1007/s11686-024-00829-8
Abstract: Purpose Soil-transmitted nematodes (STNs) are widespread in tropical and subtropical regions, particularly where the communities are socio-economically challenged. We investigated the effect of soil temperature on the prevalence and intensity of STN infection in free-roaming… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-025-99092-8
Abstract: Hookworms are blood-sucking intestinal parasites that can cause anaemia and protein loss in humans. Ancylostoma ceylanicum, a zoonotic hookworm species of dogs, is the second most common cause of human hookworm infections. With the increasing… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/19490976.2024.2416517
Abstract: ABSTRACT Infecting humans with controlled doses of helminths, such as human hookworm (termed hookworm therapy), is proposed to prevent or treat various intestinal and extraintestinal diseases. However, full-scale clinical trials examining hookworm therapy are limited… read more here.

DOI: 10.1086/702960
Abstract: Parasites can cause chronic stress in some animal species, and this type of stress response has been associated with adverse consequences for the host. In order to know whether parasitism elicited a stress response associated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jtm/taaa101
Abstract: Hookworm-related cutaneous larva migrans occurs in endemic areas but also amongst travelers. Although this disease usually presents as a single pruritic raised erythematous track, misleading clinical presentations are not uncommon. This particularly extensive, follicular presentation… read more here.
