Rheumatology &Autoimmunity, EarlyView.This observational study assessed the association between anti‐type 2 biologic agents and the occurrence of autoimmune diseases using a large real‐world claims database. Anti‐IL‐5 and anti‐IgE therapies were associated with an increased occurrence of autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE ...

Many roads to reservoirs? How susceptibility and shedding shape host competence in amphibians
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Host competence—the ability to acquire, harbour and transmit infections—drives pathogen spread and persistence in multi‐host communities. Evaluating species‐specific competence is critical for predicting transmission, particularly for generalist fungal pathogens like ...

A mucin-like peptide from Fasciola hepatica instructs dendritic cells with parasite specific Th1-polarizing activity [PDF]
, 2017 Fasciolosis is a trematode zoonosis of interest in public health and cattle production. We report here the immunostimulatory effect of a 66 mer mucin-like peptide from Fasciola hepatica (Fhmuc), which synergizes with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to promote ...

Helminths and Immunological Tolerance [PDF]
Transplantation, 2014 Current immunosuppression regimens for solid-organ transplantation have shown disappointing efficacy in the prevention of chronic allograft rejection and carry unacceptable risks including toxicity, neoplasia, and life-threatening infection. Achievement of immunological tolerance (long-term antigen unresponsiveness in an immunocompetent host) presents ...

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 ...

Homo sapiens, industrialisation and the environmental mismatch hypothesis
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT For the vast majority of the evolutionary history of Homo sapiens, a range of natural environments defined the parameters within which selection shaped human biology. Although human‐induced alterations to the terrestrial biosphere have been evident for over 10,000 years, the pace and scale of change has accelerated dramatically since the onset

Parasite Immunology, 2009 SummaryIt has been estimated that chronic infections with viruses, bacteria and parasites contribute to 17·8% of the global burden of cancer, although only a relatively small proportion of the infection‐related cancers can be attributed to helminth infections.

A cosmopolitan parasite of Rattus in the Galápagos rodents raises conservation concerns
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.We draw attention to a recent study that identified the invasive nematode Mastophorus muris, typically associated with Rattus, infecting two endemic Galápagos rats on islands where no invasive rodents have been previously recorded. This unexpected finding raises concerns about undetected rodent introductions and highlights the urgent need for ...
