Pathophysiology

Hookworm life cycle

All species of hookworm have no intermediate host. Mature females released eggs in the host’s small intestine and these eggs are passed in the feces, where they hatch first stage larva (L1) within several days. The L1 feeds on soil microbes and molts to the L2 stage, and under appropriate conditions, each egg develops into an infective L3 stage larva.
