The survey provided a representative sample of the 10-19 year age group for each one of the 49 administrative divisions. Prevalences were low in the Extreme North province with a sahelian climate.

Predisposition to Hookworm Infection in Humans
Science, 1985Frequency distributions of parasitic helminths within human communities are invariably highly aggregated, the majority of worms occurring in relatively small fractions of the host populations. It has been suggested that the heavily infected individuals are predisposed to this state, not by chance, but by as yet undefined genetic, ecological, behavioral,

Pathogenesis and immunity in hookworm infection
Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1968Abstract The species of hookworm that parasitize man and his dog can be segregated according to whether or not the adult hookworms induce intestinal haemorrhage. By radioisotope tracer techniques, it has been shown that the 3 hookworms which infect man ( Ancylostoma duodenale, Necator americanus and Ancylostoma ceylanicum ) and 1 ( Ancylostoma ...
