No, hookworms cannot be spread directly from person to person. They are primarily transmitted through contaminated soil, where larvae can penetrate the skin, typically through bare feet. Infection occurs when a person comes into contact with contaminated environments, rather than through direct human contact. Maintaining good hygiene and wearing shoes in endemic areas can help prevent transmission.
