Tetracycline Resistance Pattern Among Lymphatic Filariasis‐Hyperendemic Communities in Southern Ghana: A Mixed‐Method Approach

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aim Tetracyclines continue to serve as a cost‐effective and essential treatment for common infections, particularly in resource‐limited regions such as lymphatic filariasis (LF)‐hyperendemic communities. The growing use of tetracycline‐based antibiotics by symptomatic filarial lymphedema patients, likely influenced by the ...

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels

FEBS Letters, Volume 600, Issue 5, Page 591-611, March 2026.
Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...

Helminths in the hygiene hypothesis:Sooner or later? [PDF]

, 2014
There is increasing recognition that exposures to infectious agents evoke fundamental effects on the development and behaviour of the immune system. Moreover, where infections (especially parasitic infections) have declined, immune responses appear to be

Helminths as architects of trained tolerance: implications for human health

Clinical &Translational Immunology, Volume 15, Issue 3, 2026.
Abstract Helminths infect nearly 2 billion people worldwide and are a major cause of chronic morbidity in low‐resource regions. Unlike bacterial and viral pathogens that elicit protective memory, helminths actively remodel host immunity to enable their years‐long persistence and reinfection.
