Effects of hygiene and defecation behavior on helminths and intestinal protozoa infections in Taabo, Côte d'Ivoire. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
BACKGROUND: More than 1 billion people are currently infected with soil-transmitted helminths and schistosomes. The global strategy to control helminthiases is the regular administration of anthelmintic drugs to at-risk populations.

Differential Effect of Ivermectin on Intestinal Helminths in Multimmate Mouse (Mastomys natalensis). [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
Mastomys natalensis harbours gastrointestinal helminths of public health and food‐safety importance. This study identified five helminth taxa and assessed faecal egg counts after a single ivermectin dose. Egg counts declined substantially in treated rodents but changed little in controls over eight weeks.

The intestinal microbiota contributes to the ability of helminths to modulate allergic inflammation [PDF]

, 2015
Intestinal helminths are potent regulators of their host's immune system and can ameliorate inflammatory diseases such as allergic asthma. In the present study we have assessed whether this anti-inflammatory activity was purely intrinsic to helminths, or

Risk of intestinal parasitic infections in people with different exposures to wastewater and fecal sludge in Kampala, Uganda : a cross-sectional study [PDF]

, 2016
There are health risks associated with wastewater and fecal sludge management and use, but little is known about the magnitude, particularly in rapidly growing urban settings of low- and middle-income countries.

Helminths and intestinal barrier function [PDF]

Tissue Barriers, 2017
Approximately one-sixth of the worlds' population is infected with helminths and this class of parasite takes a major toll on domestic livestock. The majority of species of parasitic helminth that infect mammals live in the gut (the only niche for tapeworms) where they contact the hosts' epithelial cells.
