Editorial: Helminth biodiversity
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023 The aim of this Research Topic is to broaden and deepen the knowledge about helminths in wildlife or domestic hosts around the world focusing on the contribution to the taxonomic groups, ecology, phylogenetic, and biology. Thus, a multidisciplinary approach is given and can be used as a guide for scientific information.

Can chemotherapy alone eliminate the transmission of soil transmitted helminths? [PDF]
, 2014 Background: Amongst the world's poorest populations, availability of anthelmintic treatments for the control of soil transmitted helminths (STH) by mass or targeted chemotherapy has increased dramatically in recent years. However, the design of community

Helminths and Immunological Tolerance [PDF]
Transplantation, 2014 Current immunosuppression regimens for solid-organ transplantation have shown disappointing efficacy in the prevention of chronic allograft rejection and carry unacceptable risks including toxicity, neoplasia, and life-threatening infection. Achievement of immunological tolerance (long-term antigen unresponsiveness in an immunocompetent host) presents ...

Helminths and HIV infection: epidemiological observations on immunological hypotheses. [PDF]
, 2006 Parasitic helminths have co-evolved with the mammalian immune system. Current hypotheses suggest that immunological stimulation in the presence of helminths is balanced by immuno-regulation and by the broad spectrum of mechanisms possessed by helminths ...
