Hookworm

Introduction Drenches is a liquid formulation for oral administration that is used to kill internal and external parasites especially in sheep. It is used in the worm control on any farms. Drenches is also known as anthelmintics as they contain active ingredients that kill the helminths in the stomach. Basically, there are three major types of drenches which are the suspensions, solutions and emulsions. (P.Junquera, 2015) Drenches can be a “broad spectrum” when they treat an extensive range of internal parasites or “narrow spectrum” when they treat only a restricted range of internal parasites. (Sheep Worms: Signs, Management Plan, Control, & Drenching, 2015) There are several “chemical family” groups in drenches as each of them have a specific mode of action on the worm. Drench test can be carried out regularly to ensure the effectiveness of certain drenches to a particular parasitic worm. Several steps have to be taken carefully as well when drenching as inappropriate drenching may cause the drench resistance. Combinations of various drenches are implemented in order to prevent the occurrence of drench resistance whereby the worms are resistant to a certain type of drenches. (Drenches, n.d.) Thus, it is very important to preserve several effective drenches to cope with this problem. Major Types of Drenches (a) Suspensions • The active ingredient is a small sized particle which can swim in the liquid. • They used to swim as they are insoluble in liquid. • Assemble the…

There are several kinds of roundworms which can lead to infections in humans. Their lengths usually vary a lot from 1 millimeter to 1 meter. Most of them are usually eggs and larvae which live in the soils. They usually get into the body through the hands when people touch them or through the mouth. Some of the roundworms also get into the body through the skin because of their small sizes but they usually grow big. The infection of the roundworms usually happens mostly in the warm tropical…

Hookworm also known scientifically as Ancylostomiasis is an infection of one or two 7 to 13 inch long roundworm. If hookworm is left untreated then, abdominal pain and iron deficiency can occur. Approximately 25% of the world is afflicted with hookworm. Hookworm is not known usually until an individual notices a difficulty breathing, rapid heartbeat, chest or abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea, blood with coughing, asthma type symptoms, skin rash, swelling or bloating, dizziness, confusion,…

(parasites enter through the skin) ''One from each four individuals on the planet is contaminated with roundworms which cause fever, cough and internal issues. One fourth of the general population on the planet has hookworms that can prompt iron deficiency and stomach pains. Another third of one billion individuals experience the ill effects of stomach pain and loose bowels created by whipworms.'' Parasite contamination side effects can be: • Loss of appetite • Anal and vulvar…

intestinal disorders, or excessive blood donation. Hookworm disease is another important factor in causation of anaemia due to chronic blood loss. The mean daily loss of blood from an Ancylostoma duodenal is 0.15 nil and Necator americans is 0.03ml. In rural areas, post partum haemorrhage on account of poor obstetric spaced pregnancies and prolonged periods of lactation deplete iron stores with each successive pregnancy and this is reflected in the high incidence of anaemia with higher parity.…

Hookworms are small and short worms. They live in the small intestines of man. They are called hookworms because each of them has hooks on its head around the mouth. The worm attaches itself to the inside wall of the intestine by these hooks. Hookworms feed on blood. They suck this from the wall of the intestine to which they are attached. There are often several hookworms at the same time in the child's tummy. All of them feed on the blood of the child. Therefore, one of the major effects of…

Ostherr also convincingly connects her evidence to her sub-claims and central argument. In Chapter One, Ostherr uses the Rockefeller Foundation’s production of Unhooking the Hookworm as an example of how biopower works—the health film had the ability to either “help viewers imagine unseen worlds and change their behavior accordingly [emphasis added], or alternatively, to reject the visualization as implausible and, therefore, irrelevant to their daily life,” in which case biopower would not have…

In 1920 the hookworm infection was problematic in many impoverished areas around the globe. This infection happens when the hookworm parasite tunnels up through a human’s foot. Over time it slowly makes its way to the small intestine where it matures. The symptoms of this infection can include but is not limited to nausea, indigestion, diarrhea, and vomiting. The Rockefeller Foundation was interested in increasing the education about the disease and slowly push towards eradication. The…

diseases including one called ancylostomiasis which is commonly called hookworm. Hookworm is a common parasitic disease that is most commonly found in mammals including humans. Although humans can get hookworm mammals are the main carriers and and the main reason of transmission. Hookworm is passed to humans from an animal through soil. After an infected animal defecates in soil and the soil comes in direct contact with any part of the human's body or ingested. The animal normally gets it from…

caused by the South’s climate, which helped nurtured a wide variety of diseases ranging from epidemic diseases, like yellow fever, to debilitating illnesses, like hookworm and pellagra. The disease like environment of the South was not only fostered by the climate, but also by the poverty of its people, which led many to be unable to provide a nourished diet for their families. Northerners already viewed the South as an underdeveloped and sickly region at time, so their image of Southerners were…
