New Zealand Research Relevance: “Worldwide, hookworms infect an estimated 576-740 million people...historically refers to the childhood syndrome of iron deficiency anemia, protein malnutrition, and growth and mental retardation with lethargy resulting from chronic intestinal blood loss secondary to hookworm infection in the face of an iron deficient diet. The increased prevalence of atopy, asthma, and food allergy in areas free of worm infestation has been cited as supportive of the hygiene hypothesis and has even prompted investigation of worms or worm products as therapy for such diseases [†]. It is thought that worm-activated regulatory and counter-regulatory processes involving Th2 and T regulatory cells and cell products may paradoxically inhibit Th2 responses that in the absence of worms cause reactions to potential allergens. Mass chemotherapy remains a mainstay of hookworm control strategies…continued use of drugs may lead to reduced efficacy; treatment failures have been observed" [12].
