Serological Evidence of Soil‐Transmitted Helminth Infections as a Potential Risk for Severity in Leprosy Patients

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 30, Issue 10, Page 1115-1123, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Leprosy presents a broad clinical spectrum influenced by the host's immune response, and co‐infections may further modulate disease progression. This study evaluated clinically diagnosed leprosy patients (n = 251) from Sergipe and Minas Gerais, Brazil, along with healthy controls (n = 43), soil‐transmitted helminths‐positive controls (n = 15),

Strongyloidiasis: The Cause of Multiple Gastrointestinal Ulcers in an Immunocompetent Individual

Case Reports in Medicine, 2014
Strongyloidiasis is a common parasitic disease in tropical regions of the world. Infection with Strongyloides stercoralis usually remains asymptomatic with peripheral eosinophilia and uncontrolled growth.

Immunity Switches and Macrophage Manipulations: Trauma, Ovulation, and Depression as Latent Tuberculosis Reactivation Risks

American Journal of Human Biology, Volume 37, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Inflammation is the immune system's natural response to initial tuberculosis infection. Tuberculosis bacteria have gained adaptations to manipulate the inflammatory process, sometimes settling into latency and containment in granulomas, ensuring their survival.

Terror in the dirt: Sensory determinants of host seeking in soil-transmitted mammalian-parasitic nematodes

International Journal for Parasitology: Drugs and Drug Resistance, 2018
Infection with gastrointestinal parasitic nematodes is a major cause of chronic morbidity and economic burden around the world, particularly in low-resource settings. Some parasitic nematode species, including the human-parasitic threadworm Strongyloides

Strongyloides stercoralis infection in marmosets: replication of complicated and uncomplicated human disease and parasite biology [PDF]

, 2014
BACKGROUND: Strongyloides stercoralis can undergo an alternative autoinfective life cycle in the host, which, in some individuals can lead to a lethal infection.

Multi-parallel qPCR provides increased sensitivity and diagnostic breadth for gastrointestinal parasites of humans: field-based inferences on the impact of mass deworming [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: Although chronic morbidity in humans from soil transmitted helminth (STH) infections can be reduced by anthelmintic treatment, inconsistent diagnostic tools make it difficult to reliably measure the impact of deworming programs and often miss
