Type 2 Inflammation and Its Role in Dermatologic Diseases

International Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Atopic dermatitis, prurigo nodularis, and chronic spontaneous urticaria are immune‐mediated, inflammatory skin conditions characterized by intense itch and disease‐specific skin lesions. Despite their different clinical presentations, the three diseases are unified by an aberrant type 2 immune response involving type 2 cytokines, immune cells,

SARS-CoV-2 and helminth co-infections, and environmental pollution exposure: An epidemiological and immunological perspective

Environment International, 2021
Soil-transmitted helminths infect billions of people globally, particularly those residing in low- and middle-income regions with poor environmental sanitation and high levels of air and water pollution. Helminths display potent immunomodulatory activity

Testing non‐lethal techniques for endoparasite detection and sex determination in pumpkinseed sunfish (Lepomis gibbosus)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Developing non‐lethal techniques to estimate parasite infection is critical for studying disease ecology in wild animals. We tested the effectiveness of coelomic ultrasonographic examination and plasma enzyme markers to detect liver infection with bass tapeworms Proteocephalus ambloplitis (Leidy 1887) as well as the effectiveness of ultrasound

The Epidemiology of Soil-Transmitted Helminths in Bihar State, India

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2015
Background Soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) infect over a billion individuals worldwide. In India, 241 million children are estimated to need deworming to avert the negative consequences STH infections can have on child health and development.

Cause or consequence? Exploring authors' interpretations of correlations between fish body condition and parasite infection

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract We reviewed 194 publications that reported relationships between fish body condition indices (BCIs) and parasite infections, and examined the authors' intention behind this cross‐sectional analysis, that is, whether authors interpreted the negative correlations as the negative effects of parasites or as fish with poor BCIs being more ...
