Hookworm
Hookworm infection, caused by blood-feeding, parasitic roundworms from the genera Ancylostoma and Necator, predominantly affects individuals in impoverished, rural, and coastal regions with poor sanitation. This condition leads to iron deficiency anemia and undernutrition, especially in developing countries, making it a major contributor to ongoing poverty and health issues.
