Helminth-allergy associations in rural and urban Uganda: insights from antibody studies [PDF]
, 2019 Background: Allergy-related disease (ARD) is a major cause of morbidity in high-income countries (HICs). Although populations in tropical low-income countries (LICs), and in rural (compared to urban) settings, seem to be remarkably protected, the trends are fast changing as these communities undergo an epidemiological transition exemplified by changing
