Stool specimens were examined for hookworm eggs using wet preparation, Kato thick smear, and water-ethyl acetate sedimentation technique. The incidence rate of hookworm infection was 7.5\/100 person-years. The independent risk factors for acquiring hookworm infection were barefoot walking (incidence rate ratio [IRR] = 4.2, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.2\u201314.5) and raising buffaloes around the house (IRR = 4.8, 95% CI = 1.9\u201311.8). Sequencing of internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1)-5.8S-ITS2 region of the ribosomal RNA gene were performed for identifying species of hookworm. <jats:italic>Necator americanus<\/jats:italic> was the most common hookworm identified in this population. <jats:italic>Ancylostoma duodenale<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>A. ceylanicum<\/jats:italic> were also detected. Our data suggest transmission of both human and animal hookworms in this community. Thus, prevention and control strategies of hookworm infection should cover both human and animal infection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.2011.10-0189","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,4,1]],"date-time":"2011-04-01T13:23:23Z","timestamp":1301664203000},"page":"594-598","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":80,"title":["Incidence and Risk Factors of Hookworm Infection in a Rural Community of Central Thailand"],"prefix":"10.4269","volume":"84","author":[{"given":"Vittaya","family":"Jiraanankul","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wongwarit","family":"Aphijirawat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mathirut","family":"Mungthin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rommanee","family":"Khositnithikul","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ram","family":"Rangsin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rebecca J.","family":"Traub","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Phunlerd","family":"Piyaraj","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tawee","family":"Naaglor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paanjit","family":"Taamasri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Saovanee","family":"Leelayoova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2795","reference":[{"key":"B1","series-title":"Trends Parasitol","first-page":"547","article-title":"Soil-transmitted helminth infections: updating the global picture","volume":"19","author":"de Silva","year":"2003"},{"key":"B2","series-title":"Lancet","first-page":"1521","article-title":"Soil-transmitted helminth infections: ascariasis, trichuriasis, and hookworm","volume":"367","author":"Bethony","year":"2006"},{"key":"B3","series-title":"N Engl J Med","first-page":"799","article-title":"Hookworm infection","volume":"351","author":"Hotez","year":"2004"},{"key":"B4","series-title":"Southeast Asian J Trop Med Public Health","first-page":"211","article-title":"Epidemiology and the effect of treatment of soil-transmitted helminthiasis in pregnant women in southern Thailand","volume":"40","author":"Liabsuetrakul","year":"2009"},{"key":"B5","series-title":"J Nutr","first-page":"1099","article-title":"Linear growth retardation in Zanzibari school children","volume":"127","author":"Stoltzfus","year":"1997"},{"key":"B6","series-title":"Int J Epidemiol","first-page":"530","article-title":"Epidemiological evidence for a differential effect of hookworm species, Ancylostoma duodenale or Necator americanus, on iron status of children","volume":"27","author":"Albonico","year":"1998"},{"key":"B7","series-title":"Trop Med Int Health","first-page":"322","article-title":"Evidence for an association between hookworm infection and cognitive function in Indonesian school children","volume":"4","author":"Sakti","year":"1999"},{"key":"B8","series-title":"Trop Med Int Health","first-page":"994","article-title":"Hookworm, Ascaris lumbricoides infection and polyparasitism associated with poor cognitive performance in Brazilian schoolchildren","volume":"13","author":"Jardim-Botelho","year":"2008"},{"issue":"(Suppl 3)","key":"B9","series-title":"Southeast Asian J Trop Med Public Health","first-page":"13","article-title":"The Asian Center of International Parasite Control (ACIPAC): five years of achievement.
