PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2021 Both Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection and helminths may affect innate immune mechanisms such as differential effects on monocytes towards the non-classical and intermediate subsets that favor bacterial persistence.

Exploring the immunology of parasitism--from surface antigens to the hygiene hypothesis [PDF]
, 2009 Helminth immunology is a field which has changed beyond recognition in the past 30 years, transformed not only by new technologies from cDNA cloning to flow cytometry, but also conceptually as our definition of host immune pathways has matured.

Soil-Transmitted Helminth Vaccines: Are We Getting Closer?
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 Parasitic helminths infect over one-fourth of the human population resulting in significant morbidity, and in some cases, death in endemic countries.

Helminth Infections: Recognition and Modulation of the Immune Response by Innate Immune Cells [PDF]
, 2018 The survival of helminths in the host over long periods of time is the result of a process of adaptation or dynamic co-evolution between the host and the parasite. However, infection with helminth parasites causes damage to the host tissues producing the

Pre-existing helminth infection impairs the efficacy of adjuvanted influenza vaccination in mice.
PLoS ONE, 2022 The world health organization estimates that more than a quarter of the human population is infected with parasitic worms that are called helminths. Many helminths suppress the immune system of their hosts to prolong their survival. This helminth-induced

Promising Technologies in the Field of Helminth Vaccines
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Helminths contribute a larger global burden of disease than both malaria and tuberculosis. These eukaryotes have caused human infections since before our earliest recorded history (i.e.: earlier than 1200 B.C. for Schistosoma spp.).

Helminths in the gastrointestinal tract 1 as modulators of immunity and pathology [PDF]
, 2017 Helminth parasites are highly prevalent in many low- and middle-income countries, in which inflammatory bowel disease and other immunopathologies are less frequent than in the developed world.

Helminth species-specific effects on IFN-γ producing T cells during active and latent tuberculosis.
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2023 BackgroundInterferon-γ (IFN-γ) is a key cytokine inducing protective immune responses during tuberculosis (TB) infection. Helminth-induced immune responses may affect IFN-γ production by T cells, although its connection with disease severity and immune ...
