Helminths in the gastrointestinal tract 1 as modulators of immunity and pathology [PDF]
American Journal of Physiology - Gastrointestinal and Liver Physiology, 2017 Helminth parasites are highly prevalent in many low- and middle-income countries, in which inflammatory bowel disease and other immunopathologies are less frequent than in the developed world.

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 ...

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.

Life‐cycle complexity in helminths: What are the benefits?
Evolution; international journal of organic evolution, 2021 Parasitic worms (i.e., helminths) commonly infect multiple hosts in succession. With every transmission step, they risk not infecting the next host and thus dying before reproducing. Given this risk, what are the benefits of complex life cycles?
