Sex in Immune Cells and Parasitic Diseases — A Complex Relationship
Immunological Reviews, Volume 337, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Epidemiological studies consistently show that many parasitic diseases affect males more frequently than females. These disparities are multifactorial, arising partly from gender‐specific behaviors that influence exposure risk and health‐seeking practices, especially in low‐ and middle‐income countries. Increasing evidence also highlights that
