Abstract

A number of epidemiological studies have demonstrated that there is an inverse relationship between helminth infections and diabetes mellitus, suggesting that helminth infection may have a positive effect on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the association between hookworm infection and T2DM has barely been studied. Hence, we aimed to investigate and analyze the interaction and association between hookworm infection and T2DM.
