Secreted venom allergen-like proteins of helminths: Conserved modulators of host responses in animals and plants

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2018
Despite causing considerable damage to host tissue at the onset of parasitism, invasive helminths establish remarkably persistent infections in both animals and plants.

Lessons from helminth infections: ES-62 highlights new interventional approaches in rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Parasitic worms are able to survive in their mammalian host for many years due to their ability to manipulate the immune response by secreting immunomodulatory products. It is increasingly clear that, reflecting the anti-inflammatory actions of such worm-

Metagenomic Analysis of Bacteria, Fungi, Bacteriophages, and Helminths in the Gut of Giant Pandas

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
To obtain full details of gut microbiota, including bacteria, fungi, bacteriophages, and helminths, in giant pandas (GPs), we created a comprehensive microbial genome database and used metagenomic sequences to align against the database.

microRNAs of parasitic helminths – identification, characterization and potential as drug targets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
microRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs involved in post-transcriptional gene regulation. They were first identified in the free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, where the miRNAs lin-4 and let-7 were shown to be essential for regulating ...

Does mass drug administration for the integrated treatment of neglected tropical diseases really work? Assessing evidence for the control of schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminths in Uganda [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
This paper was one of four papers commissioned to review the role of social sciences in NTD control by TDR, the Special Programme for Research and Training on Tropical Diseases, which is executed by WHO and co-sponsored by UNICEF, UNDP, the World Bank ...

Helminth Immunomodulation in Autoimmune Disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2017
Helminths have evolved to become experts at subverting immune surveillance. Through potent and persistent immune tempering, helminths can remain undetected in human tissues for decades.

Human ascariasis: diagnostics update [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) infect over one billion people worldwide. Ascariasis may mimic a number of conditions, and individual clinical diagnosis often requires a thorough work-up.

Point-of-care mobile digital microscopy and deep learning for the detection of soil-transmitted helminths and Schistosoma haematobium

open access: yesGlobal Health Action, 2017
Background: Microscopy remains the gold standard in the diagnosis of neglected tropical diseases. As resource limited, rural areas often lack laboratory equipment and trained personnel, new diagnostic techniques are needed.

Boosting Antibiotic Efficacy of Azole Drugs against Methicillin‐Resistant Staphylococcus aureus by Coordination to Rhenium Carbonyl Complexes

open access: yesChemBioChem, Accepted Article.
In this study, a library of rhenium di‐ and tricarbonyl complexes featuring various antimicrobial azoles as monodentate ligands was synthesized and characterized. Their antimicrobial activity was evaluated against both methicillin‐sensitive (MSSA) and methicillin‐resistant (MRSA) Staphylococcus aureus, and selected compounds were also assessed for ...
