The nature and causes of "hookworm anemia".
Marcel Roche,Miguel Layrisse +1 more
TL;DR: A number of studies show that anemia can be significantly associated with the hookworm in a given infected group and what anemia results from this association is closely related to the background of iron intake of the subjects in whom it occurs.
