“…This decreased to less than 5% by the 1960s, with only 0.5% showing signs of recent infection (77). Hookworm infection was common in the southern U.S. the first quarter of the 20th century, but had declined substantially by the 1950s (78). In the late 1940s, at least 20% of randomly sampled children admitted to Charity Hospital of New Orleans harbored Trichocephalus trichiura (79).…”
