Overview

Pathophysiology

The external surface of Helminth comprises key molecules excretory/secretory (ES) products. Hookworm ES products contain a large range of structurally and functionally distinct molecules, mostly proteins, and also lipids, and carbohydrates. They are secreted from the oral orifice or outer surfaces of the parasite representing the boundary between the helminth parasites and their hosts. These molecules react with host proteins and are essential for the penetration of the host, tissue migration, nourishment, reproduction, and evasion of host immunity. These molecules also have major functions in the development and survival of parasites. By inhibiting the inflammatory reaction, encouraging effector cells apoptosis, and skewing the immune reaction phenotype, these molecules help the parasite to survive and evade the host immunological response.[1]

Hookworm life cycle

All species of hookworm have no intermediate host, they have a direct life cycle. Mature females released eggs in the host’s small intestine and these eggs are passed in the feces, where they hatch first stage rhabditiform larva (L1) within several days. The L1 feeds on soil microbes and molts to the L2 stage, and under appropriate conditions, each eggs hatch in warm, moist, sandy soil, or in feces and develops into an infective filariform (L3) stage larva. The infective-stage larvae (L3) enter the body either through a cutaneous route or by direct oral ingestion. Some species of human hookworm such as Ancylostoma and Necator Americanus enter the body by skin penetration which may cause a local pruritic dermatitis, also called ground itch at the site of penetration whereas the ancylostoma species can also enter the body orally.[2] The infective larvae (L3) migrate through the dermis, enters the bloodstream, and reach the lungs within 10 days. Once they reach the lungs, they migrate across the alveoli and breaks into alveoli leads to mild and usually asymptomatic alveolitis with eosinophilia. Then they ascend from the bronchial tree to the pharynx, during which the host may develop a cough, sore throat, fever. They coughed up, swallowed, and reach the small intestine where they mount into fourth-stage larvae and mature into blood-feeding adults male or female.[3] The adult worms attached to the mucosal layer of the small intestine, using their buccal capsule leads to arterioles and venules ruptures along with the luminal surface of the intestine. These adult worms release hyaluronidase and other hydrolytic enzymes result in blood extravasation by degrading the intestinal mucosa and erosion of blood vessels.[4] Hookworms also secrete Ancylostoma ceylanicum anticoagulant peptide-1, which inhibits the blood coagulation in the attachment site and leads to blood loss from the intestine.[5] The adult worms colonize the intestinal tract and in 3-5 weeks the adults becomes sexually mature and female worms begin to lay eggs in the intestine that pass in the stool.[3]
