Microarray in parasitic infections

Tropical Parasitology, 2012
Modern biology and genomic sciences are rooted in parasitic disease research. Genome sequencing efforts have provided a wealth of new biological information that promises to have a major impact on our understanding of parasites. Microarrays provide one of the major high-throughput platforms by which this information can be exploited in the laboratory ...

The excretory-secretory products of Echinococcus granulosus protoscoleces directly regulate the differentiation of B10, B17 and Th17 cells

Parasites & Vectors, 2017
Background Excretory-secretory products (ESPs) released by helminths are well-known to regulate T cell responses in the host. However, their direct influence in the differentiation of naïve T cells, and especially B cells, remains largely unknown.

A Combination of Deworming and Prime-Boost Vaccination Regimen Restores Efficacy of Vaccination Against Influenza in Helminth-Infected Mice

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Helminths still infect a quarter of the human population. They manage to establish chronic infections by downmodulating the immune system of their hosts.

Iron transport pathways in the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum revealed by RNA-sequencing

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
Host iron deficiency is protective against severe malaria as the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum depends on bioavailable iron from its host to proliferate.

Impact of Helminth Infections during Pregnancy on Vaccine Immunogenicity in Gabonese Infants

Vaccines, 2020
Helminth infections are common in sub-Saharan Africa. Besides direct clinical effects, a bias towards a T helper type 2 (Th2) cell immune response is observed.

Do Organochlorine Contaminants Modulate the Parasitic Infection Degree in Mediterranean Trout (Salmo trutta)?

Animals, 2023
We investigated the occurrence of organochlorine pollutants (OCs) in the muscle of brown trout and evaluated their potential modulation of parasite infection. The toxicological risk for consumer health was assessed, too.

Immunoregulation and parasitic infections [PDF]

FEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology, 1997
Schistosomiasis is still widely distributed in 74 countries and territories and affects some 200 million people according to an estimation by WHO [1], despite the fact that extensive efforts to control the disease have been made in many endemic areas. Three species of the genus Schistosoma are the major pathogens of human schistosomiasis: Schistosoma ...

Relationship between oral declaration on adherence to ivermectin treatment and parasitological indicators of onchocerciasis in an area of persistent transmission despite a decade of mass drug administration in Cameroon

Parasites & Vectors, 2015
Background Onchocerciasis control for years has been based on mass drug administration (MDA) with ivermectin (IVM). Adherence to IVM repeated treatment has recently been shown to be a confounding factor for onchocerciasis elimination precisely in rain ...

Avidin is evolutionarily conserved in fish but dispensable for development and resistance against Streptococcus agalactiae in zebrafish

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The presence of biotin‐binding avidin proteins in fish and their biological significance are poorly characterized. We cataloged fish avidins and demonstrate that they are widely present and evolutionarily conserved. We created avd knockout zebrafish and show that zebavidin is dispensable for development and that resistance of avd knockout embryos in ...

Interleukin-5 Mediates Parasite-Induced Protection against Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis: Association with Induction of Antigen-Specific CD4+CD25+ T Regulatory Cells

Frontiers in Immunology, 2017
ObjectiveTo examine if the protective effect of parasite infection on experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) was due to interleukin (IL)-5, a cytokine produced by a type-2 response that induces eosinophilia.
