The Influence of Innate Immunity, Adaptive Immunity and Diet on Intestinal Microbiota Following Trichuris muris Infection

open access: yesParasite Immunology, Volume 48, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Trichuris trichiura infects nearly 500 million people worldwide, causing intestinal inflammation, malnutrition, and growth impairment, particularly in children from low‐resource settings. While host immunity is central to parasite clearance, diet and the gut microbiota may also modulate infection.

SLC11A1 Gene Polymorphism in Adults Co-Infected with Helminth and Latent Tuberculosis in Yewa, Ogun State

open access: yesAfrican Journal of Biomedical Research, 2020
Mutations in the 3’UTR and D543N regions of the solute carrier 11a1 protein (SLC11A1) gene have been found to strongly increase the risk of several diseases caused by intracellular organisms such as M. tuberculosis. The aim of this study was to screen for polymorphisms in the 3’UTR and D543N regions of SLC11A1 gene with the goal of understanding the ...
