Necatoriasis - what does this mean
Necatoriasis is a parasitic infection caused by the hookworm necator americanus. it is acquired through contact with contaminated soil, usually through walking barefoot or through contact with infected animals. the larvae of the hookworm penetrate the skin and migrate through the bloodstream to the lungs, where they are coughed up and swallowed, eventually settling in the small intestine where they feed on blood and cause anemia.
What happens during the disease - necatoriasis
Necatoriasis is a parasitic infection caused by the roundworms necator americanus and ancylostoma duodenale. it is acquired through contact with contaminated soil, water, or food, or by direct skin contact with human or animal feces. once inside the body, the worms attach to the intestinal wall and feed on the host's blood. this causes inflammation, abdominal pain and diarrhea, and can lead to anemia and malnourishment.
