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 ...

Sustainable control of cyathostomin infections in practice

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Cyathostomins are the most prevalent helminths in horses and are found in nearly all grazing groups. These parasites have been shown to exhibit widespread anthelmintic resistance and can cause clinical disease, so they are a growing concern.

Identification of human intestinal parasites affecting an asymptomatic peri-urban Argentinian population using multi-parallel quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction [PDF]

, 2015
Background: In resource-limited countries, stool microscopy is the diagnostic test of choice for intestinal parasites (soil-transmitted helminths and/or intestinal protozoa). However, sensitivity and specificity is low.

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 ...

Should We Advance Our Understanding of Immunoglobulin E in Viral Immunity?

Immunology, EarlyView.
Immunoglobulin E has been extensively studied in allergies and parasitic diseases. Antigen‐specific IgE has been identified as part of the humoral response to viruses. This revision speculates on possible functionalities for IgE, such as neutralisation, cytotoxicity and immunopathology of viral diseases, and provide insights about gaps to fill in ...
