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 ...

Special considerations for studies of extracellular vesicles from parasitic helminths: A community‐led roadmap to increase rigour and reproducibility

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, 2023
Over the last decade, research interest in defining how extracellular vesicles (EVs) shape cross‐species communication has grown rapidly. Parasitic helminths, worm species found in the phyla Nematoda and Platyhelminthes, are well‐recognised manipulators ...

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.

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?

Linking Behavior, Co-infection Patterns, and Viral Infection Risk With the Whole Gastrointestinal Helminth Community Structure in Mastomys natalensis

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
Infection probability, load, and community structure of helminths varies strongly between and within animal populations. This can be ascribed to environmental stochasticity or due to individual characteristics of the host such as their age or sex. Other,

Predictors of zoonotic potential in helminths

bioRxiv, 2021
Helminths are parasites that cause disease at considerable cost to public health and present a risk for emergence as novel human infections. Although recent research has elucidated characteristics conferring a propensity to emergence in other parasite ...

Spread of anthelmintic resistance in intestinal helminths of dogs and cats is currently less pronounced than in ruminants and horses – Yet it is of major concern

International Journal for Parasitology: Drugs and Drug Resistance, 2021
Anthelmintic resistance (AR) has thus far only rarely been reported for intestinal helminths of dogs and cats, in contrast to parasites of livestock and horses.
