The human hookworms (Necator americanus and Ancylostoma duodenale) infect over one billion people. The phylogenetic relationships of the human hookworms suggest independent acquisition of the human host. The hookworms probably have a haploid chromosome number n = 6, and an XX-XO sex determination mechanism is likely to be used. Genetic and molecular research on hookworms is in its infancy, but several important genes and gene products have already been identified. Of note are cathepsin genes, a family of secreted proteins known as Ancylostoma activation-associated proteins and a family of anticoagulants. The inception of an expressed sequence tag program on the human hookworm, N. americanus, promises to yield many new genes with novel functions in the biology of these important parasites.
