In many other areas, for example in North Africa and Egypt or Sri Lanka and India, travellers are exposed to the ever-present danger of hookworms. This dangerous worm is so widespread that Professor Dr Nauck, one of the foremost specialists in tropical diseases, believes that over 500 million people are infested with it. According to his estimate, every fifth person in the tropics is a carrier of this dangerous parasite.

Not only are roundworms and the tiny threadworms or pin-worms extremely widespread in tropical lands and islands, but the even more dangerous whipworms are abundant in some areas, so that practically all the inhabitants are infested with one kind or another of these parasites.
