The field of infectious disease immunology is at an exciting intersection with new concepts in
immune regulation meeting with the dynamics of infectious diseases. We discuss how the …

Helminth parasites infect almost one-third of the world's population, primarily in tropical
regions. However, regions where helminth parasites are endemic record much lower …

Parasitic infections are a major theme in the “hygiene hypothesis”, as allergies and
autoimmune diseases are less prevalent in countries with higher burdens of helminths and …

Immune regulation by parasites is a global concept that includes suppression, diversion,
and conversion of the host immune response to the benefit of the pathogen. While many …

Helminths are multicellular eukaryotic parasites that infect over one quarter of the world's
population. Through coevolution with the human immune system, these organisms have …

Worldwide, more than a billion people are infected with helminths. These worm infections
generally do not lead to mortality, however, they are chronic in nature and can lead to …

Over 2 billion people worldwide are infected with helminths (worms). Helminth infections are

Helminth immunology is a field which has changed beyond recognition in the past 30 years,
transformed not only by new technologies from cDNA cloning to flow cytometry, but also …

Helminth parasites are complex metazoans that belong to different taxonomic families but
that collectively share the capacity to downregulate the host immune response directed …

Helminth parasite infections are associated with a battery of immunomodulatory
mechanisms that affect all facets of the host immune response to ensure their persistence …
