Helminth Infection, Gut Microbiome Alterations, and Their Impact on Pulmonary Tuberculosis Susceptibility

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Helminth infections and pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) frequently coexist in low‐ and middle‐income countries and interact through immune‐mediated mechanisms that influence host susceptibility to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Beyond direct immunomodulation, increasing evidence indicates that helminth infections alter gut microbiome ...

ABSTRACT New approaches are urgently needed to enrich rare or low‐abundant DNA in complex samples. Soil‐transmitted helminths (STHs) inhabit heterogeneous environments, including the gastrointestinal tract of their host as adults and are excreted as eggs and larvae in faeces, complicating our understanding of their biology and the use of genetic tools ...
