hookworm definition and meaning

What is a "hookworm"?

Hookworm is a parasitic nematode worm that infects humans and animals by penetrating the skin and migrating to the intestines. It derives its name from the hook-like structures on its mouth, which it uses to attach to the intestinal wall and feed on blood. Hookworm infections can lead to various health issues, including anemia, malnutrition, and impaired growth and development, particularly in children. These worms are commonly found in areas with poor sanitation and limited access to clean water. Prevention and control measures for hookworm infections include practicing proper hygiene, wearing shoes in areas with contaminated soil, and implementing deworming programs in affected communities.
