Helminth parasites and immune regulation [version 1; referees: 2 approved] [PDF]
F1000Research, 2018 Helminth parasites are complex metazoans that belong to different taxonomic families but that collectively share the capacity to downregulate the host immune response directed toward themselves (parasite-specific immunoregulation).

Genetic manipulations in helminth parasites. [PDF]
J Parasit Dis, 2023 Screening of vaccine or drug target in parasitic helminth is hindered by lack of robust tool for functional studies of parasite protein which account for the availability of only a few anti-helminthic vaccines, diagnostic assay and slower pace of development of an anthelmintic drug.

G-quadruplexes in helminth parasites. [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Res, 2022 Abstract Parasitic helminths infecting humans are highly prevalent infecting ∼2 billion people worldwide, causing inflammatory responses, malnutrition and anemia that are the primary cause of morbidity. In addition, helminth infections of cattle have a significant economic impact on livestock production, milk yield and fertility.

Modulation of haematopoiesis by protozoal and helminth parasites. [PDF]
Parasite Immunol, 2023 Abstract During inflammation, haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in the bone marrow (BM) and periphery rapidly expand and preferentially differentiate into myeloid cells that mediate innate immune responses. HSCs can be directed into quiescence or differentiation by sensing alterations to the haematopoietic niche, including cytokines ...

Interaction of helminth parasites with the haemostatic system of their vertebrate hosts: a scoping review [PDF]
Parasite, 2022 Helminth parasitoses are among the most prevalent health issues worldwide. Their control depends largely on unravelling host–parasite interactions, including parasitic exploitation of the host haemostatic system.
