Anaemia accounts for significant morbidity particularly in underdeveloped countries. Parasitic infestations are among the leading health problems in resource poor countries due to poor hygienic conditions.

We found that the leading parasites causing blood loss and hence resulting in anaemia are hookworm, whipworm, lessThan i greaterThan Giardia lamblia lessThan /i greaterThan and lessThan i greaterThan Blastocystis hominis. lessThan /i greaterThan We therefore conclude a positive association between parasitism and anaemia.
