Helminth fauna of the monocled cobra (Naja kaouthia) from central Thailand: community composition and taxonomic perspectives [PDF]

Parasitology
Snakes serve as important hosts for parasites at the interface of wildlife, humans and domestic animals. However, their helminth fauna in tropical regions, particularly Thailand, remains poorly documented.

Ivermectin Treatment and Sanitation Effectively Reduce Strongyloides stercoralis Infection Risk in Rural Communities in Cambodia [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: Strongyloides stercoralis is the only soil-transmitted helminth with the ability to replicate within its host, leading to long-lasting and potentially fatal infections. It is ubiquitous and its worldwide prevalence has recently been estimated

Elucidating different pattern of immunoregulation in BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice and their F1 progeny

Scientific Reports, 2021
Helminths are large multicellular parasites that infect one quarter of the human population. To prolong their survival, helminths suppress the immune responses of their hosts.

Different gut microbial communities correlate with efficacy of albendazole-ivermectin against soil-transmitted helminthiases

Nature Communications, 2022
Little is known about the cause of treatment failure of soil-transmitted helminth infections. Here, the authors show that pre-treatment gut microbial community composition enables predicting treatment outcome for Trichuris trichiura and hookworm ...

A Combination of Deworming and Prime-Boost Vaccination Regimen Restores Efficacy of Vaccination Against Influenza in Helminth-Infected Mice

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Helminths still infect a quarter of the human population. They manage to establish chronic infections by downmodulating the immune system of their hosts.

Helminth eggs assessment of fecal sludge in urban area of Bandung, Indonesia [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2020
Soil-transmitted helminth eggs present to be non-excludable parameter for water quality and sanitation since they are linked to public health concern. Unfortunately, investigation of helminth eggs presence in wastewater is very limited in Indonesia.

Prevalence and correlates of helminth co-infection in Kenyan HIV-1 infected adults. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2010
Deworming HIV-1 infected individuals may delay HIV-1 disease progression. It is important to determine the prevalence and correlates of HIV-1/helminth co-infection in helminth-endemic areas.HIV-1 infected individuals (CD4>250 cells/ul) were screened for ...

Macrophage-derived human resistin is induced in multiple helminth infections and promotes inflammatory monocytes and increased parasite burden. [PDF]

, 2015
Parasitic helminth infections can be associated with lifelong morbidity such as immune-mediated organ failure. A better understanding of the host immune response to helminths could provide new avenues to promote parasite clearance and/or alleviate ...

Malaria-filaria coinfection in mice makes malarial disease more severe unless filarial infection achieves patency [PDF]

, 2005
Coinfections are common in natural populations, and the literature suggests that helminth coinfection readily affects how the immune system manages malaria.
