Evolutionary biology and anthropology suggest biome reconstitution as a necessary approach toward dealing with immune disorders [PDF]

, 2013
Industrialized society currently faces a wide range of non-infectious, immune-related pandemics. These pandemics include a variety of autoimmune, inflammatory and allergic diseases that are often associated with common environmental triggers and with ...

Genetic identification of gastrointestinal parasites in the world's most endangered ungulate, the hirola (Beatragus hunteri)

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The hirola (Beatragus hunteri) is the world's most critically endangered antelope. Its parasitic fauna has never been genetically characterised, raising questions about its possible role in the species' population decline. This study aimed to assess the presence of gastrointestinal parasites in hirolas and their transmission ...

Similarities and differences between helminth parasites and cancer cell lines in shaping human monocytes: Insights into parallel mechanisms of immune evasion. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018
A number of features at the host-parasite interface are reminiscent of those that are also observed at the host-tumor interface. Both cancer cells and parasites establish a tissue microenvironment that allows for immune evasion and may reflect functional

Genotypic profile of benzimidazole resistance associated with SNP F167Y in the beta-tubulin gene of Necator americanus helminths obtained from Brazilian populations

Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2020
Necator americanus is a worm that parasites the small intestine of humans and is highly prevalent in regions with poor sanitary conditions. The main strategy to control this helminth is by mass benzimidazole administration, however, periodic use of these drugs can select strains of parasites resistant to treatment. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)

Why are our roe deer short of breath? – prevalence and promotive factors of lung parasites in roe deer Capreolus capreolus in south‐eastern Germany

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The existence of bronchopulmonary nematodes in German roe deer Capreolus capreolus is well documented, with two types of lung parasites that have been described previously: Dictyocaulus capreolus and Varestrongylus capreoli. However, little is known about the impact of these parasites on their host animal or which parameters influence outbreak and ...

Th2-dependent STAT6-regulated genes in intestinal epithelial cells mediate larval trapping during secondary Heligmosomoides polygyrus bakeri infection.

PLoS Pathogens, 2023
Gastrointestinal helminths are a major health threat worldwide. Alternatively activated macrophages (AAMs) have been shown to contribute to host protection during secondary helminth infections. AAMs express effector molecules that depend on activation of

Stage-specific miRNAs regulate gene expression associated with growth, development and parasite-host interaction during the intra-mammalian migration of the zoonotic helminth parasite Fasciola hepatica

BMC Genomics, 2022
Abstract Background MiRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression in organisms ranging from viruses to mammals. There is great relevance in understanding how miRNAs regulate genes involved in the growth, development, and maturation of the many parasitic worms (helminths) that ...

The therapeutic potential of the filarial nematode-derived immunodulator, ES-62 in inflammatory disease [PDF]

, 2010
The dramatic recent rise in the incidence of allergic or autoimmune inflammatory diseases in the West has been proposed to reflect the lack of appropriate priming of the immune response by infectious agents such as parasitic worms during childhood ...

Hedgehogs and Angiostrongylus cantonensis: Uncovering the Role of Atelerix albiventris in the Parasite Life Cycle

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ongoing invasion of the zoonotic parasite Angiostrongylus cantonensis threatens humans, other mammals, and birds. In Mallorca, neurological disorders associated with this parasite are increasingly reported in free‐living Algerian hedgehogs, Atelerix algirus, raising public health concerns.

Revealing the associated microflora hosted by the globally significant parasite Trichostrongylus colubriformis

Scientific Reports
Trichostrongylus colubriformis is a parasitic helminth that primarily infects small ruminants, causing substantial economic losses in the livestock industry. Exploring the microbiome of this helminth might provide insights into the potential influence of
