Hookworm disease Prevention and Control
- To prevent hookworm infections, contact of bare skin with contaminated soil should be avoided.
Proposed measures: wearing shoes, reduce faecal contamination of soil by sanitation (installation of latrines, personal hygiene). - Health education is essential to control hookworm disease
- Mass treatment (has no effect if no change in sanitation and hygiene!)
