Parasite excretory-secretory products and their effects on metabolic syndrome [PDF]

, 2017
Obesity, one of the main causes of metabolic syndrome (MetS), is an increasingly common health and economic problem worldwide, and one of the major risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Chronic, low-grade inflammation is

The effects of Ostertagia occidentalis somatic antigens on ovine TLR2 and TLR4 expression

Iranian Journal of Parasitology, 2015
Background: Recognition of helminth-derived pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), including toll like recep­tors (TLRs) is the first step towards initiating anti–helminth immune re­sponses.

Comparisons of Allergenic and Metazoan Parasite Proteins: Allergy the Price of Immunity.

PLoS Computational Biology, 2015
Allergic reactions can be considered as maladaptive IgE immune responses towards environmental antigens. Intriguingly, these mechanisms are observed to be very similar to those implicated in the acquisition of an important degree of immunity against ...

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels

FEBS Letters, Volume 600, Issue 5, Page 591-611, March 2026.
Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...

Immunodominance, competition and evolution in immunological responses to helminth parasite antigens

Parasitology, 1996
SUMMARYThe paper describes the development and analysis of a mathematical framework for the study of the within-host population dynamics of the interaction between macroparasites and the human immune system. Simple models of this interaction based on the proliferation of T cell clones specific to parasite antigen, and the impact of clonal expansion on ...

Navigating the Ethereal Tightrope: The Nanogenerator Manipulates Neurons for Immune Equilibrium

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 14, 9 March 2026.
This review explores how nanogenerators modulate neuroimmune responses, offering innovative strategies for treating neurological disorders. By interfacing with neural pathways, they enable precise control of immune activity, especially via vagus nerve stimulation.

The epidemiology of gonorrhoea, chlamydial infection and syphilis in four African cities.

, 2001
OBJECTIVES: To compare the epidemiology of gonorrhoea, chlamydial infection and syphilis in four cities in sub-Saharan Africa; two with a high prevalence of HIV infection (Kisumu, Kenya and Ndola, Zambia), and two with a relatively low HIV prevalence ...
