Systemic impact of intestinal helminth infections [PDF]

Mucosal Immunology, 2014
In this review, we examine the evidence that intestinal helminths can control harmful inflammatory responses and promote homeostasis by triggering systemic immune responses. Induction of separable components of immunity by helminths, which includes type 2 and immune regulatory responses, can both contribute toward the reduction in harmful type 1 immune

Intestinal helminthic infections: a narrative review to guide the hepatogastroenterologist

Acta Gastro Enterologica Belgica, 2023
Intestinal helminthic infections are not uncommon in Western Europe, mainly due to modern travel, emigration and globalization. Moreover, some helminthic infections are endemic in Western Europe and are part of the everyday clinical practice.

Does bigger mean sicker? A systematic review and meta‐analysis of the intraspecific relationship between host body size and parasite infection across vertebrate taxa

Oikos, EarlyView.
Elucidating the determinants of parasite infection levels of individuals within a population is a basic but important step for understanding the roles of parasites in natural systems. Among intraspecific studies on vertebrate hosts and metazoan parasites, host body size (length/mass) is probably the most frequently reported factor determining parasite ...

Development and validation of the AI-predictive ParaScout in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) system for the microscopic detection of gastro-intestinal helminths in stool

Emerging Microbes and Infections
The comprehensive method to detect gastro-intestinal infections is still microscopic examination of stool specimens. However, manual microscopic examination is laborious, and its accuracy is highly observer-dependent.
