The Mystery of Hookworm in Ancient America: A Parasite Found When and Where it Shouldn't Be Yet I’m currently researching for a piece on the disease ecology of the early Americas.

A parasite that shouldn’t survive cold climates somehow appears in 7,000-year-old Brazilian coprolites. No trace in the north, no easy route in. One of the most interesting mysteries in ancient disease ecology.

In the #STH work, prevalence data were collected at the school level. For each school, we had the number of children tested, the number infected with each STH species (#Ascaris, #Trichuris, and #hookworm), and the geo-location of the school.

Some studies show that a 7-day course of albendazole may decrease the rates of recurrent disease. Oral ivermectin is also effective, and its advantage is a patient only has to take a one-time dose of 12 mg by mouth. Cure rates near 100% with ivermectin administration #CLM #hookworm

Just finished #hookworm!!! Just a tick and a vampire bat left for my first batch. Need to make labels and prints. Plus my big models!

Ps: Some people have genes that need to host hook worm, if you don’t have the hook worms it causes #crohns and or #IBS! #Fun times!
