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.).

A mucin-like peptide from Fasciola hepatica instructs dendritic cells with parasite specific Th1-polarizing activity [PDF]
, 2017 Fasciolosis is a trematode zoonosis of interest in public health and cattle production. We report here the immunostimulatory effect of a 66 mer mucin-like peptide from Fasciola hepatica (Fhmuc), which synergizes with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to promote ...

Human ascariasis: diagnostics update [PDF]
, 2015 Soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) infect over one billion people worldwide. Ascariasis may mimic a number of conditions, and individual clinical diagnosis often requires a thorough work-up.

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 ...

Responses to Malarial Antigens Are Altered in Helminth‐Infected Children [PDF]
The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2009 Malaria and helminth infections often coincide in the same tropical regions. Studies of the consequences of helminth and malaria coinfection in humans have been few and are mainly epidemiological, with little information on cellular immune responses. In this study, we investigated the antimalarial immune responses of Ghanaian children living in a rural

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2011 BackgroundHelminth co-infection in humans is common in tropical regions of the world where transmission of soil-transmitted helminths such as Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, and the hookworms Necator americanus and Ancylostoma duodenale as ...

A Comparative Analysis of the Protein Cargo of Extracellular Vesicles from Helminth Parasites
Life, 2023 Helminth parasites cause debilitating—sometimes fatal—diseases in humans and animals. Despite their impact on global health, mechanisms underlying host–parasite interactions are still poorly understood.

Echinococcus multilocularis coproantigen detection by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in fox, dog, and cat populations [PDF]
, 1999 A sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of Echinococcus multilocularis coproantigens (EM-ELISA) was developed with polyclonal rabbit (solid phase) and chicken egg (catching) antibodies that were directed against E ...
