CD4+ T cell hyporesponsiveness after repeated exposure to Schistosoma mansoni larvae is dependent upon interleukin-10 [PDF]
, 2015 The effect that multiple percutaneous exposures to Schistosoma larvae has on the development of early CD4+ lymphocyte reactivity is unclear, yet it is important in the context of humans living in areas where schistosomiasis is endemic.

IL-10- and TGFβ-mediated Th9 Responses in a Human Helminth Infection. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2016 Th9 cells are a subset of CD4+ T cells that express the protoypical cytokine, IL-9. Th9 cells are known to effect protective immunity in animal models of intestinal helminth infections.

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background COVID‐19 has had major global health impacts, yet reported morbidity and mortality have been lower in Africa despite serological evidence of widespread infection. Malaria has been proposed as a potential modifier of susceptibility to and outcomes of SARS‐CoV‐2 infection.

Nematode-induced interference with vaccination efficacy targets follicular T helper cell induction and is preserved after termination of infection. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014 One-third of the human population is infected with parasitic worms. To avoid being eliminated, these parasites actively dampen the immune response of their hosts.

Plasmodium falciparum and Helminth Coinfections Increase IgE and Parasite-Specific IgG Responses
Microbiology Spectrum, 2021 Coinfection with Plasmodium falciparum and helminths may impact the immune response to these parasites because they induce different immune profiles. We studied the effects of coinfections on the antibody profile in a cohort of 715 Mozambican children ...

Immune endotypes in tuberculosis: Keys to decoding disease complexity
Journal of Internal Medicine, Volume 299, Issue 6, Page 670-693, June 2026.Abstract Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global health challenge, with multi‐drug antibiotic regimens as the current standard of care. While effective at killing Mycobacterium tuberculosis, these treatments do not resolve persistent inflammation, prevent lung damage, or reverse immune dysregulation that contribute to poor outcomes and disease ...

Description of a new actinosporean type from South African freshwater [PDF]
, 2004 The 1st report on actinospores described these organisms as parasites related to myxosporeans. For a long time this group of parasites was believed to represent an independent taxonomic entity.

Innate Lymphoid Cells in Tissue Homeostasis and Diseases
MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 5, May 2026.Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are a heterogeneous group of immune cells with phenotypic and functional plasticity. ILCs dynamically regulate various immune cell types and play a crucial role in the pathophysiological processes of specific organs during sepsis. Targeting ILCs is a promising strategy for treating sepsis.
