Helminth exposure and immune response to the two-dose heterologous Ad26.ZEBOV, MVA-BN-Filo Ebola vaccine regimen.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases
BackgroundThe exposure to parasites may influence the immune response to vaccines in endemic African countries. In this study, we aimed to assess the association between helminth exposure to the most prevalent parasitic infections, schistosomiasis, soil ...

Praziquantel in clonorchiasis and opisthorchiasis [PDF]

, 1981
A single stool examination revealed pathogenic intestinal parasites in 462 (58%) of 796 vietnamese and cambodian refugees. 56 (7.0%) were infected with Clonorchis sinensis and/or Opisthorchis viverrini. These patients received Praziquantel in a dosage of

Convergence between helminths and breast cancer: intratumoral injection of the excretory/secretory antigens of the human parasite Toxocara canis (EST) increase lung macro and micro metastasis

Frontiers in Immunology
IntroductionWorldwide, breast cancer is the most important cancer in incidence and prevalence in women. Different risk factors interact to increase the probability of developing it.

Macrophage-derived extracellular vesicles from Ascaris lumbricoides antigen exposure enhance Mycobacterium tuberculosis growth control, reduce IL-1β, and contain miR-342-5p, miR-516b-5p, and miR-570-3p that regulate PI3K/AKT and MAPK signaling pathways

Frontiers in Immunology
BackgroundHelminth coinfection with tuberculosis (TB) can alter the phenotype and function of macrophages, which are the major host cells responsible for controlling Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb).

Pre-vaccination Schistosoma mansoni and hookworm infections are associated with altered vaccine immune responses: a longitudinal analysis among adolescents living in helminth-endemic islands of Lake Victoria, Uganda

Frontiers in Immunology
BackgroundVariations in vaccine responses have been observed between populations. A role for helminth infections has been proposed due to their immunomodulatory properties.

Monoclonal Antibodies as Investigative Tools in Onchocerciasis [PDF]

, 2017
The development of monoclonal antibodies against parasites can facilitate analysis of host-parasite interactions and can lead to the identification and characterization of antigens that induce protective responses in the immunized host.
