Abstract
Hookworm infections are among the most common parasitic diseases worldwide, particularly in developing countries where sanitation conditions are poor and hygiene practices are inadequate. This disease can lead to serious health issues such as anemia, malnutrition, and negatively impact the quality of life of affected individuals.
Objective: To determine the prevalence and intensity of hookworm infections among the residents of Cu M'Lan Commune, Ea Sup District.
Research Subjects and Methods: A cross-sectional research design conducted in the community (aged 3 and above) living in Cu M'Lan Commune, Ea Sup District, Dak Lak Province, in 2024.
Results: The prevalence of hookworm infections was 22.73%, with intensity remaining at a mild level (46.4 eggs/1g of stool). The infection rates among different ethnic groups (Kinh and minorities) and genders (males and females) were similar. The infection rate in the 16-59 age group was 26.59%, and it was higher among individuals with education levels below high school (25%) and those working in agriculture (27.24%) compared to other groups in the research area.
Conclusion: The prevalence of hookworm infections in the area remains relatively high, but the intensity of infections is mild. The rate of hookworm infections is associated with education level and occupation.
