DOI: 10.1002/eji.201646575
Abstract: Immunity to intestinal nematodes requires CD4⁺ Th2‐cell responses, including IL‐4 and IL‐13 production. Chronic infection with intestinal nematodes leads to downregulation of these responses, and few functional T helper (Th) 2 cells are detected in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/ofid/ofac541
Abstract: Abstract Background Although a third of people with tuberculosis (TB) are estimated to be coinfected with helminths, the prevalence is largely unknown among people with drug-resistant TB (DR-TB). We determined the prevalence of helminth coinfection… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12879-017-2195-1
Abstract: BackgroundHelminths affect the outcome of tuberculosis by shifting cell mediated immune response to humoral and by total suppression of the host immune system. On the reverse, Mycobacterium infection favors immune escape of helminths. Therefore assessing… read more here.
