ABSTRACT
This work studies the incidence of hookworm caused by Ancystoma duodenale among three in. Enugu – East Local Government Area. Out of 180 samples used for the study, 10.5% (19) were positive for hookworm infestation while 89.4% (161) were negative.
The study revealed that Abakpa Nike Housing Estate, Abakpa, had the highest incidence of 13.3% (8), followed by Holy Cross Private School, Ugwuegede, Abakpa with 10% (6) and least in Solid Base Private School, Trans Ekulu, Abakpa with 8.3% (5).
Also the incidence of hookworm infestation was found to be more among children within the age range 6 – 7 years of age (in class 2) whereas there was a reduction within the older age group of 8 – 12 years ie those in classes iv to vi.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Hubert and Harold (1979) state that hookworm is one of the prevalent diseases in the world. And that it is not limited to the tropical and sub – tropical areas around the world but may be encountered in temperate climates.
The hookworms, which infect man belong to the family Ancylostomidae and class Nematoda. And there are two species Necator americanus and Ancylostoma duodenale (sub family Ancuylostominae). These two species have different geographical distributions.
There is a presently considerable overlap, of their distribution, though N. americanus tends to be more abundant. However, there is a third species, Terniderns derminutus which is a common parasite of baboons and monkeys, especially in Zimbabwe. And the disease caused by Ancylostoma duodenale is called Ancylostomaiasis.
Furthermore, Ancylostoma duodenale is more sub-tropical in its range, commonly found in Southern Europe, Northern Africa, China, South America, Japan, Asia and Southern United States. Whereas, Necator americanus is a predominant species in Africa, India, South-East, China, Pacific Islands, Brazil and Southern United States.
Hookworms are small and slender about half an inch (10 to 13mm) in length while the female is longer than the male. Hookworms are intestinal parasites which attach themselves to the intestinal lining (mucosa) by the means of their hooked mouths and feed on the blood by puncturing the blood vessels with their sharp teeth. The female works produce large numbers of eggs which the human host expels in his stools. Symth (1996).
