Helminths affect more than one quarter of the world's population, contributing significantly to socioeconomic problems in developing countries. Control is heavily dependent on chemotherapy, which can be cost-effectively targeted to school-age children, in whom combined drug treatments work well. Drug resistance, however, is a constant threat.

Extracellular vesicles from parasitic helminths and their potential utility as vaccines
Expert Review of Vaccines, 2018Introduction: Helminths are multicellular parasites affecting nearly three billion people worldwide. To orchestrate a parasitic existence, helminths secrete different molecules, either in soluble form or contained within extracellular vesicles (EVs). EVs

I am honored to give this lecture dedicated to the memory of Dr. Fred Soper, whose pioneering efforts against the insect vectors of malaria and yellow fever are legendary. Soper and his colleagues also played key roles in restoring the concept of eradication to respectability after the collapse of earlier campaigns to eradicate hookworm and yellow ...

, 2014 There are four meat-borne helminths of medical significance: Trichinella species, Taenia solium, and Taenia asiatica, which occur primarily in pork; and Taenia saginata, which is found in beef. There are a variety of reasons for this, including animal management systems that perpetuate infection, inadequate or poorly enforced inspection requirements ...

Epidemiology and clinical features of soil-transmitted helminths
Tropical Parasitology, 2017Soil-transmitted helminths (STH) consist of Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, and hookworm (Necator americanus and Ancylostoma duodenale). It affects nearly 1.7 billion people globally in which Ascaris contributes nearly 1.2 billion cases.

Helminths, hygiene hypothesis and type 2 diabetes
Parasite immunology (Print), 2017Worldwide, there is little overlap between the prevalence of soil‐transmitted helminths and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Helminth‐induced type 2 immune responses and immune regulatory network might modulate the obesity‐induced activation of inflammatory ...

Parasitic helminths and their beneficial impact on type 1 and type 2 diabetes
Diabetes/Metabolism Research Reviews, 2016It is estimated that by the year 2035 almost 600 million people will suffer from diabetes. In the case of type 2 diabetes, the strongest increase of diabetes incidence occurs in developing and newly industrialized countries.

Trends in Parasitology, 2009
By definition, parasites harm their hosts. Yet substantial evidence from animal models of human disease support the hypothesis that infection with helminths can suppress the development of other maladies. Here, the view is presented that assessment of the immunophysiological response to helminths could identify that infection with specific parasites ...
