Immune Responses in Human Necatoriasis: Association between Interleukin-5 Responses and Resistance to Reinfection [PDF]

, 2004
Cytokine and proliferative responses to Necator americanus infection were measured in a treatment-reinfection study of infected subjects from an area of Papua New Guinea where N. americanus is highly endemic.

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.

Diagnostic Investigation of Two Cases of Oslerus osleri Infection in Dogs: Microscopic Challenges and Molecular Characterisation

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
Two cases of young dogs with chronic cough were investigated, one with bronchoalveolar lavage for cytology, the other with endoscopic biopsy for histopathology. DNA was extracted from stained smears and from formalin paraffin‐embedded blocs, six primer pairs spanning the ribosomal RNA gene of O.

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 ...

Why, Immunologically, Housing‐Related Fungi and Endotoxins (and Other Chronic Pro‐Inflammatory Stressors) Risk Latent Tuberculosis Reactivation, Severe Asthma, and Translocating and Invasive Infections in Indigenous Communities in Canada

American Journal of Human Biology, Volume 38, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Type 1/M1/TH1 and type 3/M1/TH17 pro‐inflammatory switches are risks for latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) reactivation and ongoing infection transmission. This paper considers the heavy toll of reactivation risk in Indigenous communities in Canada and the chronic, everyday pro‐inflammatory stressors connected with type 3/M1/TH17 immune ...

Parasitic Infections and Associated Cognitive Outcome Among School‐Aged Children in Africa: A Systematic Review

Brain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Parasitic infections like schistosomiasis, soil‐transmitted helminths, and malaria can impair nutrient absorption, oxygen supply, and brain function, leading to memory deficits, attention deficits, reduced intelligence quotient, weak academic performance, and motor or executive deficits.

The NLRP3 Inflammasome Suppresses Protective Immunity to Gastrointestinal Helminth Infection

Cell Reports, 2018
Summary: Inflammasomes promote immunity to microbial pathogens by regulating the function of IL-1-family cytokines such as IL-18 and IL-1β. However, the roles for inflammasomes during parasitic helminth infections remain unclear. We demonstrate that mice
