The disease, also known as hookworm, is caused by a parasitic worm that results in anaemia and a weakened immune system. The book chronicles a major public health campaign launched in 1910 to combat this prevalent disease. In the early 1900s, Uncinariasis affected millions of people worldwide. The author draws from extensive research and first-hand accounts from field directors to describe the immense effort undertaken to tackle the problem. This account provides a deep understanding of the fight against this debilitating disease and its significance in improving global public health.
