More than 2 billion people are infected with parasites globally, and the majority have coinfections. Intestinal protozoa and helminths induce polarizing CD4+ T-helper cell 1 (Th1) mediated cytokine responses within the host.

Summary Since 2019, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2), the virus causing COVID‐19, has been spreading and mutating globally despite the expedited approval of many commercial vaccines. Therefore, developing safe, effective and affordable vaccines remains essential to meet the global demand, particularly in developing countries.

SjAPI, the first functionally characterized Ascaris-type protease inhibitor from animal venoms. [PDF]
Serine protease inhibitors act as modulators of serine proteases, playing important roles in protecting animal toxin peptides from degradation. However, all known serine protease inhibitors discovered thus far from animal venom belong to the Kunitz-type ...

The epidemiological consequences of optimisation of the individual host immune response [PDF]
We present a simple unscaled, quantitative framework that addresses the optimum use of resources throughout a host's lifetime based on continuous exposure to parasites (rather than evolutionary, genetically explicit trade-offs). The principal assumptions

OMIP‐113: Characterization of Cytokine Producing T Cells in Swine
ABSTRACT T cells are essential for preventing diseases and providing long‐term protective immunity. The functional capacity of T cells and the quality of their responses to antigens can be measured by the cytokines they produce. We developed a conventional flow cytometry panel utilizing commercially available antibodies to measure antigen‐specific T ...

Small RNAs and extracellular vesicles in filarial nematodes: from nematode development to diagnostics [PDF]
Parasitic nematodes have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to communicate with their hosts in order to survive and successfully establish an infection. The transfer of RNA within extracellular vesicles (EVs) has recently been described as a mechanism that
