Effect of single-dose anthelmintic treatment during pregnancy on an infant's response to immunisation and on susceptibility to infectious diseases in infancy: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. [PDF]

, 2011
BACKGROUND: Helminth infections affect the human immune response. We investigated whether prenatal exposure to and treatment of maternal helminth infections affects development of an infant's immune response to immunisations and unrelated infections ...

Heterogeneous transmission and infection intensity patterns of Mansonella spp. and Loa loa in rural southeastern Gabon: a cross-sectional study

Frontiers in Tropical Diseases
BackgroundMansonella perstans is a highly neglected filarial parasite with widespread distribution in Central Africa. In Gabon, information on its local epidemiology, particularly in rural forested areas, remains limited. This study aimed to characterize

Parasite infection is associated with Kaposi's sarcoma associated herpesvirus (KSHV) in Ugandan women

Infectious Agents and Cancer, 2011
Background Immune modulation by parasites may influence susceptibility to bacteria and viruses. We examined the association between current parasite infections, HIV and syphilis (measured in blood or stool samples using standard methods) and antibodies ...
