The first two pictures are of hookworms. The rest are unrelated (ascarids, tapeworm, cystocercis perhaps, more ascarids, and lymphatic filariasis). There is no gross pathology associated with hookworm infection.

I agree... the tub full of worms in the one picture appear to be roundworms (ascarids) which are much larger than hookworms. The lovely mass being extruded from the guy's butt are also roundworms. The worm with the ring of spines around its head is probably a tapeworm. And the last one is definitely filariasis. The only health problems associated with hookworms are a skin irritation when they burrow in, and then anemia if there are too many of them munching on you. Unlike tapeworms and roundworms, hookworms actually have teeth and they actually chew on the walls of your intestine and eat the blood.
