Neuroimmune Pain and Its Manipulation by Pathogens
ABSTRACT Recent studies highlight extensive crosstalk that exists between sensory neurons responsible for pain and the immune system. Cutaneous pain neurons detect harmful microbes, recruit immune cells, and produce anticipatory immunity in nearby tissues. These complementary systems generally protect hosts from infections.

The Role of Innate Immunity in Healthy Aging Through Antimicrobial Peptides
This study investigates the role of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) in innate immune responses, focusing on their function in pathogen defence and aging regulation. The research reveals a conserved mechanism across species, from invertebrates to humans, highlighting AMPs' potential in addressing age‐related challenges. These findings open new avenues for

Evolution of ascariasis in humans and pigs: a multi-disciplinary approach
The nematode parasite Ascaris lumbricoides infects the digestive tracts of over 1.4 billion people worldwide, and its sister species, Ascaris suum, has infected a countless number of domesticated and feral pigs.

Assessing the impact of Ascariasis and Trichuriasis on weight gain using a porcine model.
BackgroundInfections with Ascaris lumbricoides and Trichuris trichiura remain significant contributors to the global burden of neglected tropical diseases. Infection may in particular affect child development as they are more likely to be infected with T.

Prevention and treatment of parasitic infections in organic pigs [PDF]
Organic and free range pigs are potentially exposed to a wider range of parasites and zoonotic challenges. The livestock Subproject QLIF addresses 4 strategies to combat these challenges, and the present paper describes the initial results.

ABSTRACT The Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) can be hunted as a game species. It may also be listed as a “species likely to cause damage” (ESOD – the acronym in French), for public health reasons among others. Conversely, benefits linked to the presence of foxes are also put forward, such as the predation of rodents carrying zoonotic agents.

Treating Pox, Pests and Worms: Saints, Sympathy and Materiality in Late‐Medieval English Charms
Charms were a commonplace form of medical intervention in late‐medieval England, as they allowed afflicted and ailing devotees to seek the aid of saints and biblical figures. Those holy dead who had suffered something on earth were considered particularly adept at posthumously treating the same in their devotees, with the words used to recount their ...

Helminth extracellular vesicles co‐opt host monocytes to drive T cell anergy
Abstract Parasitic helminths secrete extracellular vesicles (EVs) into their host tissues to modulate immune responses, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. We demonstrate that Ascaris EVs are efficiently internalised by monocytes in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells and increase the percentage of classical monocytes. Furthermore,
