Helminth Interactions with Bacteria in the Host Gut Are Essential for Its Immunomodulatory Effect

Microorganisms, 2021
Colonization by the benign tapeworm, Hymenolepis diminuta, has been associated with a reduction in intestinal inflammation and changes in bacterial microbiota. However, the role of microbiota in the tapeworm anti-inflammatory effect is not yet clear, and
