    The most common treatments for hookworm are benzimidazoles, specifically albendazole and mebendazole. BZAs kill adult worms by binding to the nematode's β-tubulin and subsequently inhibiting microtubule polymerization within the parasite. [14] In certain circumstances, levamisole and pyrantel pamoate may be used. [12]
