A Novel Non-invasive Method to Detect RELM Beta Transcript in Gut Barrier Related Changes During a Gastrointestinal Nematode Infection [PDF]
, 2019 Currently, methods for monitoring changes of gut barrier integrity and the associated immune response via non-invasive means are limited. Therefore, we aimed to develop a novel non-invasive technique to investigate immunological host responses ...

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 ...

Temporal Changes in Total Serum Immunoglobulin E Levels in East German Children and the Effect of Potential Predictors [PDF]
, 2011 Background: Elevated total serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels are a prominent feature of allergic and parasitic diseases. An epidemiologic study was conducted in East German children to describe trends in the development of total serum IgE levels and ...

Molecular detection of a novel Ancylostoma sp. by whole mtDNA sequence from pangolin Manis javanica
Parasites & Vectors, 2022 Background Ancylostoma species are hematophagous parasites that cause chronic hemorrhage in various animals and humans. Pangolins, also known as scaly anteaters, are mammals that live in soil environments where they are readily exposed to soil-borne ...

Enteric helminths promote Salmonella co-infection by altering the intestinal metabolome [PDF]
, 2017 Intestinal helminth infections occur pre dominantly in regions where exposure to enteric bacterial pathogens is also common. Helminth infections inhibit host immunity against microbial pathogens, which has largely been attributed to the induction of ...

Evaluation of genome skimming to detect and characterise human and livestock helminths
International Journal for Parasitology, 2023 The identification of gastrointestinal helminth infections of humans and livestock almost exclusively relies on the detection of eggs or larvae in faeces, followed by manual counting and morphological characterisation to differentiate species using microscopy-based techniques.

Opportunities and challenges for modelling epidemiological and evolutionary dynamics in a multihost, multiparasite system: Zoonotic hybrid schistosomiasis in West Africa [PDF]
, 2017 Multihost multiparasite systems are evolutionarily and ecologically dynamic, which presents substantial trans‐disciplinary challenges for elucidating their epidemiology and designing appropriate control.

Mucosal immune responses following intestinal nematode infection. [PDF]
, 2014 In most natural environments, the large majority of mammals harbour parasitic helminths that often live as adults within the intestine for prolonged periods (1-2 years).
