DOI: 10.1017/s0022149x23000056
Abstract: Abstract The evolution of helminth parasites has long been seen as an interplay between host resistance to infection and the parasite's capacity to bypass such resistance. However, there has recently been an increasing appreciation of… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Abstract The dominant helminths infecting spiny mice (Acomys dimidiatus) in the montane wadis of the Sinai Peninsula of Egypt are spirurid nematodes, notably Protospirura muricola and Mastophorus muris. Both are relatively large robust stomach… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pntd.0010721
Abstract: Despite that the impact of different helminth species is not well explored, the current dogma states that helminths affect the Th1/Th2 balance which in turn affects the risk of tuberculosis (TB) reactivation and severity of… read more here.

Helminth species-specific effects on IFN-γ producing T cells during active and latent tuberculosis
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases"
DOI: 10.1371/journal.pntd.0011094
Abstract: Background Interferon-γ (IFN-γ) is a key cytokine inducing protective immune responses during tuberculosis (TB) infection. Helminth-induced immune responses may affect IFN-γ production by T cells, although its connection with disease severity and immune recovery during… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fcimb.2020.00431
Abstract: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by heightened systemic inflammation and microbial translocation. Whether concomitant helminth infections can modulate this systemic response is unclear. We examined the presence of markers of systemic inflammation (levels… read more here.
