Parasitic helminths are potent regulators of host immunity, including inhibition of allergic
inflammation. In this issue of Immunity, Zaiss et al.(2015) reveal that microbiota …

Intestinal helminths have well-characterized modulatory effects on mammalian immune
pathways. Ongoing helminth infection has been associated with both the suppression of …

Helminths have evolved sophisticated immune regulating mechanisms to prevent rejection
by their mammalian host. Our understanding of how the human immune system responds to …

Just as mammals have coevolved with the intestinal bacterial communities that are part of
the microbiota, intestinal helminths represent an important selective force on their …

Helminths are large multicellular parasites responsible for widespread chronic disease in
humans and animals. Intestinal helminths live in close proximity with the host gut microbiota …

Background: Soil-transmitted helminths have been shown to have the immune regulatory
capacity, which they use to enhance their long term survival within their host. As these …

Helminths have been present throughout the evolution of humans, promoting the
development and maturation of the host immune system. However, this interaction is not …

Helminth parasites are well known to have co-evolved a diverse arsenal of
immunomodulatory factors to aid their persistence following infection. In this issue, Karo-Atar …

Humans have co‐existed with parasites for virtually the entirety of our existence as a
species. Today, nearly one third of the human population is infected with at least one …

Hosts and their microbiota and parasites have co-evolved in an adaptative relationship
since ancient times. The interaction between parasites and intestinal bacteria in terms of the …
