Hookworm Infection as Influenced by the Wearing of Shoes¹

Sumario: De un analisis de conteos de uncinarias que se hizo en la Isla de Marineros, Estado de Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil, se demuestra la existencia de una correlación definida entre la intensidad de la infección y el uso de calzado entre los diferentes grupos de edades de ambos sexos.

Parece indicarse que las infecciones en esta región particular no se contraen por medio del contacto prolongado con el terreno humedo de los campos tanto como a una expocición relativamente corta en puntos de contaminación altamente infectado.
