Helminth coinfection does not affect therapeutic effect of a DNA vaccine in mice harboring tuberculosis. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2010 BACKGROUND: Helminthiasis and tuberculosis (TB) coincide geographically and there is much interest in exploring how concurrent worm infections might alter immune responses against bacilli and might necessitate altered therapeutic approaches.

Infection by a helminth parasite is associated with changes in DNA methylation in the house sparrow
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Parasites can exert strong selective pressures on their hosts and influence the evolution of host immunity. While several studies have examined the genetic basis for parasite resistance, the role of epigenetics in the immune response to parasites is less

Diagnostics, 2023 One of the main challenges for the mass introduction of the molecular diagnostics of soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) into clinical practice is the lack of a generally recognized effective method for isolating parasitic DNA from fecal samples.

Paper-Based DNA Reader for Visualized Quantification of Soil-Transmitted Helminth Infections [PDF]
ACS Sensors, 2018 Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections are a global health issue affecting nearly one-third of the world's population. As most endemic areas of STH are impoverished countries or regions with limited healthcare resources, the accurate diagnosis of STH requires analytical tools that are not only quantitative, but also portable, inexpensive, and with ...

Transient expression of DNA and RNA in parasitic helminths by using particle bombardment [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1999 Parasitic helminths (worms belonging to several metazoan phyla) cause considerable morbidity and mortality in humans. They are an important veterinary problem, and they result in significant economic losses in animal grazing and agriculture. Experimental studies on parasitic helminths have been limited by a lack of parasite cell lines and methods for ...

Limitations of PCR detection of filarial DNA in human stools from subjects non-infected with soil-transmitted helminths [PDF]
Parasite, 2021 The standard techniques for diagnosis of human filariasis are the microscopic examination of blood smears or skin biopsies, which are relatively invasive and poorly sensitive at low levels of infection. Recently, filarial DNA has been detected in fecal samples from non-human primates in Central Africa.
