Top Tweets for #hookworms
The scientific names of the #hookworms that affect humans are #Ancylostoma (A. duodenale and other species) and #Necator americanus, both belonging to the Ancylostomatidae family.
Hookworms are named for the characteristic hook-like bend at their anterior end (head). They are specialized mouthparts, specifically "teeth" in A. duodenale or "cutting plates" in N. americanus, that act like anchors that allow the parasitic nematode to attach securely to the intestinal wall of their host, where they feed on blood.
Infection with hookworms is common in tropical and rural areas. They are transmitted through contact with contaminated soil, penetrating the skin (usually bare feet), and cause severe anemia, abdominal pain, and malnutrition as they feed on blood in the intestine.

What is the scientific name of hookworm?
Here I am pulling out some hookworms from the fish I catch in LakeSherwood. These are nasty worms! I also go through the different type of bellies in the fish and how plastic are affecting them. #EartherAcademy #RobertCassar #Sherwod #Fishing #BassFishing #HookWorms
Imagine worms burrowing through your skin, traveling through your bloodstream and settling in your lungs. This is more common than you think. Around 470 million people (that’s about 1 in 17 😳) are affected by #hookworms worldwide. https://t.co/nhZ4qmkNbz Via @ConversationUK

BIG NEWS: We secured $13+ MILLION for local projects in the FY24 government funding package!! 🙌🏾
From healthcare to public safety to infrastructure, these projects respond directly to some of the most pressing needs of our district and will help reverse decades of disinvestment!
I am very concerned about efforts to weaponize artificial intelligence to intimidate and misinform voters.
@RepShontelBrown and I sent a letter to DOJ, DHS, and EAC requesting information about how these agencies plan to secure our election against AI-generated misinformation.

Representative Terri Sewell should be embarrassed to use the term “foot soldiers.”

1/ With @POTUS' State of the Union falling on the 59th anniversary of Bloody Sunday, I can think of no one more befitting to invite as my guests than some of the original Foot Soldiers from the Selma to Montgomery marches.
Learn about my guests below! 👇🏾
@stopvaccinating HPV is caused by #hookworms maybe look into a natural anti parasitic instead of a deadly #Vaccine
These folk STAY pushing for everything but what will actually work. 🤷🏿♀️#politics #rosaparksday #TerriSewell #hookworms #LowndesCounty

Who ever thought #hookworms might have an benefit for #MetabolicHealth? A small RCT opens the door to the possibility they might prevent #T2D in persons with insulin resistance.

This is an important one showing #anthelmintic #resistance is becoming a major issue for companion animals. First it was #Heartworm & now #Hookworms in dogs.Well over 50% of >300 Ancylostoma caninum cases we examined across the USA carry benzimidazole (BZ) resistance mutations!!
Very excited that our most recent work on widespread benzimidazole resistance in dog hookworms in the USA is now out on BioRxiv. We also report a very interesting finding on a novel resistance mutation in these populations. https://t.co/EHJ0E9Q4ee
