Impact of Experimental Hookworm Infection on the Human Gut Microbiota [PDF]
, 2014 The interactions between gastrointestinal parasitic helminths and commensal bacteria are likely to play a pivotal role in the establishment of host-parasite cross-talk, ultimately shaping the development of the intestinal immune system.

Temperature-dependent behaviors of parasitic helminths.
Neuroscience Letters, 2018 Parasitic helminth infections are the most common source of neglected tropical disease among impoverished global communities. Many helminths infect their hosts via an active, sensory-driven process in which environmentally motile infective larvae ...

‘Reservoir dogs’: The emerging zoonotic risk associated with European dog imports to the UK
Veterinary Record, EarlyView.Abstract Background The movement of dogs from continental Europe to the UK poses a growing public health threat due to the associated risk of disease incursions. Current legislation is insufficient to address the risks and pre‐import control measures are focused only on rabies virus and the fox tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis. Methods We conducted

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 ...

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The emergence of anthelminthic resistance is a well‐documented phenomenon in livestock and companion animals. Given the scarcity of new antiparasitic drugs, the implementation of effective, holistic anthelminthic control strategies is critical to preserving the efficacy of existing treatments.

American Zoologist, 1965 Although classical work continues, particularly on the trematodes, for the most part the basic life cycle patterns must be regarded as worked out. Helminthologists are increasingly turning attention to the mechanics of the life cycle with the result that parasitology is becoming an experimental science.

Chronic helminth infection burden differentially affects haematopoietic cell development while ageing selectively impairs adaptive responses to infection [PDF]
, 2018 Throughout the lifespan of an individual, the immune system undergoes complex changes while facing novel and chronic infections. Helminths, which infect over one billion people and impose heavy livestock productivity losses, typically cause chronic ...
