Soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) are the most common neglected tropical disease (NTD), with an estimated 900 million individuals infected worldwide [1]. The main STHs, roundworms (Ascaris lumbricoides), hookworms (Necator americanus, Ancylostoma duodenale and Ancylostoma ceylancium) and whipworms (Trichuris trichiura) cause significant morbidity [2,3]. School-aged children are at high risk of hookworm-associated morbidity such as anaemia [2,4]. Globally, anaemia due to hookworm disease alone is responsible for over 246,000 years lived
