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 ...

Effect of treating Schistosoma haematobium infection on Plasmodium falciparum-specific antibody responses

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2008
Background The overlapping geographical and socio-economic distribution of malaria and helminth infection has led to several studies investigating the immunological and pathological interactions of these parasites.

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 ...

Immunoblotting Identification of Diagnostic Antigens of Paragonimus westermani Type 1 for the Detection of Human Pulmonary Paragonimiasis in North East India

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2023
Human pulmonary paragonimiasis, an emerging concern in North East India, frequently masquerades as pulmonary tuberculosis due to clinical and radiological similarities, leading to diagnostic challenges.

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 ...

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

Necator americanus and helminth co-infections: further down-modulation of hookworm-specific type 1 immune responses.

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.

Cellular networks controlling Th2 polarization in allergy and immunity [PDF]

, 2012
In contrast to the development of Th1 (type 1 T helper cells), Th17 and Treg (regulatory T cells), little is known of the mechanisms governing Th2 development, which is important for immunity to helminths and for us to understand the pathogenesis of ...

Does treatment of intestinal helminth infections influence malaria? Background and methodology of a longitudinal study of clinical, parasitological and immunological parameters in Nangapanda, Flores, Indonesia (ImmunoSPIN Study)

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2010
Background Given that helminth infections are thought to have strong immunomodulatory activity, the question whether helminth infections might affect responses to malaria antigens needs to be addressed.
