Immunomodulation by Helminths: Intracellular Pathways and Extracellular Vesicles
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 Helminth parasites are masters at manipulating host immune responses, using an array of sophisticated mechanisms. One of the major mechanisms enabling helminths to establish chronic infections is the targeting of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs ...

Metagenomic Analysis of Bacteria, Fungi, Bacteriophages, and Helminths in the Gut of Giant Pandas
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 To obtain full details of gut microbiota, including bacteria, fungi, bacteriophages, and helminths, in giant pandas (GPs), we created a comprehensive microbial genome database and used metagenomic sequences to align against the database.

Acetylcholine production by group 2 innate lymphoid cells promotes mucosal immunity to helminths
Science immunology, 2021 Synthesis of acetylcholine by group 2 innate lymphoid cells is important for optimal immune responses to helminth infection. Acetylcholine versus helminth infection Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) play a role in mucosal immune responses during ...

Ascariasis in a 75-year-old man with small bowel volvulus: a case report
BMC Infectious Diseases, 2021 Background Ascaris lumbricoides and Ascaris suum are the most common soil-transmitted helminths of humans and pigs, respectively. The zoonotic potential of A. suum has been a matter of debate for decades.

Immune System Investigation Using Parasitic Helminths.
Annual Review of Immunology, 2021 Coevolutionary adaptation between humans and helminths has developed a finely tuned balance between host immunity and chronic parasitism due to immunoregulation.

Automated Diagnosis of Intestinal Parasites: A new hybrid approach and its benefits [PDF]
Computers in Biology and Medicine, Volume 123, August 2020, 103917, 2021 Intestinal parasites are responsible for several diseases in human beings. In order to eliminate the error-prone visual analysis of optical microscopy slides, we have investigated automated, fast, and low-cost systems for the diagnosis of human intestinal parasites.
