    Area of Science:

    • Tropical medicine
    • Infectious diseases
    • Public health

    Context:

    • Ancylostomiasis, caused by Ancylostoma duodenale or Necator americanus, is a widespread parasitic infection.
    • Historically endemic in Italy, with a notable epidemic during the St. Gotthard tunnel construction.
    • Recent years show a significant decrease in incidence, yet it persists in certain populations.

    Purpose:

    • To update the epidemiology of Ancylostomiasis in Italy.
    • To review current prophylactic and therapeutic strategies for hookworm infections.

    Summary:

    • The global prevalence of Ancylostomiasis is high, especially in tropical and subtropical regions.
    • In Italy, the disease, though reduced, still poses risks to occupational groups (farmers, miners) and in rural areas with sanitation issues.

    • Highlights the ongoing relevance of Ancylostomiasis in specific Italian occupational and geographic contexts.
    • Informs public health strategies for controlling hookworm infections.
    • Provides a basis for reviewing and improving prophylactic and therapeutic interventions.
