DOI: 10.1002/ajhb.70076
Abstract: The old friends hypothesis (OFH) examines connections between the global increase in immunoregulatory diseases (e.g., allergy and autoimmunity) and reduced exposure to immune‐priming symbionts like soil‐transmitted helminths. Helminth species, however, vary in their effects on… read more here.
