Helminths in the gastrointestinal tract 1 as modulators of immunity and pathology [PDF]

American Journal of Physiology - Gastrointestinal and Liver Physiology, 2017
Helminth parasites are highly prevalent in many low- and middle-income countries, in which inflammatory bowel disease and other immunopathologies are less frequent than in the developed world.

Special considerations for studies of extracellular vesicles from parasitic helminths: A community‐led roadmap to increase rigour and reproducibility

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, 2023
Over the last decade, research interest in defining how extracellular vesicles (EVs) shape cross‐species communication has grown rapidly. Parasitic helminths, worm species found in the phyla Nematoda and Platyhelminthes, are well‐recognised manipulators ...

Networking between helminths, microbes, and mammals.

Cell Host and Microbe, 2023
Just as mammals have coevolved with the intestinal bacterial communities that are part of the microbiota, intestinal helminths represent an important selective force on their mammalian host.

Acetylcholine production by group 2 innate lymphoid cells promotes mucosal immunity to helminths

Science immunology, 2021
Synthesis of acetylcholine by group 2 innate lymphoid cells is important for optimal immune responses to helminth infection. Acetylcholine versus helminth infection Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) play a role in mucosal immune responses during ...

Prevalence of Gastrointestinal Parasitic Infections in Captive Snakes, Bangladesh. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
This study documented gastrointestinal parasitic infections in captive venomous and non‐venomous snakes in Bangladesh for the first time, finding an overall prevalence of 39.1%, with helminths more common than protozoa. Non‐venomous snakes and juveniles were most susceptible, while controlled terrarium housing reduced risk, highlighting the need for ...

Beyond Just Bacteria: Functional Biomes in the Gut Ecosystem Including Virome, Mycobiome, Archaeome and Helminths

Microorganisms, 2020
Gut microbiota refers to a complex network of microbes, which exerts a marked influence on the host’s health. It is composed of bacteria, fungi, viruses, and helminths.

The protein and microRNA cargo of extracellular vesicles from parasitic helminths - current status and research priorities.

International Journal of Parasitology, 2020
Helminth parasites have a remarkable ability to persist within their mammalian hosts, which is largely due to their secretion of molecules with immunomodulatory properties.

Helminth infection and helminth-derived products: A novel therapeutic option for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is closely related to obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome (MetS), and it has become the most common chronic liver disease.

Immunomodulation and Immune Escape Strategies of Gastrointestinal Helminths and Schistosomes

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
Parasitic worms (helminths) developed various immunoregulatory mechanisms to counteract the immune system of their host. The increasing identification and characterization of helminth-derived factors with strong immune modulatory activity provides novel ...
