Modelling Within-Host Immune Response to Visceral Helminthiasis and Malaria Co-infection with Prophylaxis [PDF]

arXiv, 2011
In this paper, a co-infection of malaria and visceral helminthiasis with immune stimulation and impairment is studied. We have assumed that an individual gets malaria infection during invasion by helminths larvae. In absence of immune response, our results show that the antigens invade the blood system if the rate of red cell rupture per invading ...

Overview of helminths in reptiles of the National Park «Samarskaya Luka» (Russia)

Nature Conservation Research: Заповедная наука, 2018
The paper summarises available data on the species diversity of helminths in reptiles of the National Park «Samarskaya Luka» (Russia). Helminths of seven species of reptiles were examined in the region in 1996–2016.

Genomic investigations of successful invasions: the picture emerging from recent studies

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Invasion biology aims to identify traits and mechanisms that contribute to successful invasions, while also providing general insights into the mechanisms underlying population expansion and adaptation to rapid climate and habitat changes. Certain phenotypic attributes have been linked to successful invasions, and the role of genetics has been

Helminths are positively associated with atopy and wheeze in Ugandan fishing communities: results from a cross‐sectional survey

Allergy. European Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2016
Parasitic helminths are potent immunomodulators and chronic infections may protect against allergy‐related disease and atopy. We conducted a cross‐sectional survey to test the hypothesis that in heavily helminth‐exposed fishing villages on Lake Victoria,

Early Origins of Asthma and Allergies: Clues From Studies in China

Clinical &Experimental Allergy, EarlyView.
The environment we live in harbours both risk and protective factors for asthma and allergies. This is particularly relevant in China, where unique environmental and cultural factors shape disease development. The interplay between these environmental factors, airway immunity, and gut microbiome shapes the susceptibility to asthma and allergies ...

Enteric Helminths Promote Salmonella Coinfection by Altering the Intestinal Metabolome

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2017
Intestinal helminth infections occur predominantly in regions where exposure to enteric bacterial pathogens is also common. Helminth infections inhibit host immunity against microbial pathogens, which has largely been attributed to the induction of ...

Machine learning models accurately predict clades of proteocephalidean tapeworms (Onchoproteocephalidea) based on host and biogeographical data

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Proteocephalids are a cosmopolitan and diverse group of tapeworms (Cestoda) that have colonized vertebrate hosts in freshwater and terrestrial environments. Despite the ubiquity of the group, key macroevolutionary processes that have driven the group's evolution have yet to be identified.

Helminths as an alternative therapy for intestinal diseases

World Journal of Gastroenterology, 2017
Animal models and clinical studies have shown that helminth infections exert immunomodulatory activity, altering intestinal permeability and providing a potential beneficial action on autoimmune and inflammatory disorders in human beings, such as ...

Prevalence of zoonotic intestinal helminths in pet dogs and cats in the Belgrade area

, 2017
The research was conducted in dogs and cats kept as pets on the territory of the city of Belgrade (Serbia), between 2011 and 2014. Its aim was to examine the prevalence of intestinal helminths and to point out their zoonotic potential. Coprological tests
