Polyparasitism and Anaemia Among Women of Reproductive Age in Kilifi County—Kenya

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Polyparasitism is commonly associated with Plasmodium species, Schistosoma species and soil‐transmitted helminths. Anaemia results from a variety of causes, including parasitic infections. Women of reproductive age (WRA) and children below the age of five are disproportionately affected by polyparasitic infections, putting them at risk of ...

In vitro and in vivo efficacy of Monepantel (AAD 1566) against laboratory models of human intestinal nematode infections. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2011
BACKGROUND: Few effective drugs are available for soil-transmitted helminthiases and drug resistance is of concern. In the present work, we tested the efficacy of the veterinary drug monepantel, a potential drug development candidate compared to standard

Advances in the Gut‐Lung Axis and Bronchial Asthma: From Mechanisms to Therapeutic Potential

Clinical and Translational Allergy, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Bronchial asthma (hereafter referred to as asthma) is a heterogeneous disease characterized by chronic airway inflammation, airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), and reversible airflow limitation. Recent advancements in the “gut‐lung” axis concept have elucidated the intricate immunometabolic crosstalk between the gastrointestinal tract

Necator americanus infection: a possible cause of altered dendritic cell differentiation and eosinophil profile in chronically infected individuals.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2009
BackgroundHookworms survive for several years (5 to 7 years) in the host lumen, inducing a robust but largely ineffective immune response. Among the most striking aspects of the immune response to hookworm (as with many other helminths) is the ablation ...

Enrichment of Helminth Mitochondrial Genomes From Faecal Samples Using Hybridisation Capture

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 8, November 2025.
ABSTRACT New approaches are urgently needed to enrich rare or low‐abundant DNA in complex samples. Soil‐transmitted helminths (STHs) inhabit heterogeneous environments, including the gastrointestinal tract of their host as adults and are excreted as eggs and larvae in faeces, complicating our understanding of their biology and the use of genetic tools ...
