Uncinariasis, also known as hookworm infection, is a soil-transmitted helminthiasis that affects millions of people worldwide.
鞭虫病,也称为钩虫感染,是一种土壤传播的蠕虫病,影响着全球数百万人口。
The primary symptom of
uncinariasis is anemia due to the worms feeding on the host's blood in the intestinal wall.
鞭虫病的主要症状是由于寄生在肠壁上的虫体吸食宿主血液导致的贫血。
Preventive chemotherapy, including mass drug administration, is crucial for controlling and eliminating
uncinariasis in endemic areas.
在流行地区,包括大规模药物管理在内的预防性化疗对控制和消除鞭虫病至关重要。
Long-term exposure to
uncinariasis can lead to malnutrition, especially among children, hampering their physical and cognitive development.
长期暴露于鞭虫病可能导致营养不良,尤其是在儿童中,会阻碍他们的身体和认知发育。
Health education plays an integral role in preventing
uncinariasis by promoting proper sanitation and hygiene practices.
通过提倡适当的卫生和清洁习惯,健康教育在预防鞭虫病方面发挥着不可或缺的作用。
In some cases,
uncinariasis can cause severe cutaneous larva migrans, where the larvae migrate under the skin causing intense itching and rashes.
在某些情况下,鞭虫病可引起严重的皮肤幼虫移行症,此时幼虫会在皮肤下移动,引发剧烈瘙痒和皮疹。
Diagnosis of
uncinariasis typically involves microscopic examination of fecal samples for the presence of hookworm eggs or larvae.
鞭虫病的诊断通常涉及对粪便样本进行显微镜检查,以检测是否存在钩虫卵或幼虫。
Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus are the two main species of hookworms responsible for causing
uncinariasis in humans.
钩口线虫(Ancylostoma duodenale)和美洲钩虫(Necator americanus)是造成人类鞭虫病的两种主要钩虫种类。
The global burden of
uncinariasis has significantly decreased over the past decade thanks to public health interventions.
过去十年来,由于公共卫生干预措施,全球鞭虫病负担已显著下降。
Improved sanitation facilities and access to clean water are fundamental strategies in reducing the risk of acquiring
uncinariasis.
