Different coproculture techniques have been developed for culturing the hookworm (HW) larvae for morphological identification in the resource-limited settings. The objective of this study was to compare the performances of Harada-Mori culture (HMC), agar plate culture (APC) and modified APC (MAPC) of HW positive stool specimens for identification of HW species in East Sikkim.
