Parasites have evolved a wide range of mechanisms that they use to evade or manipulate
the host's immune response and establish infection. The majority of the in vivo studies that …

Background Infectious diseases encompass a large spectrum of diseases that threaten
human health, and coinfection is of particular importance because pathogen species can …

Network approaches have revolutionized the study of ecological interactions. Social,
movement and ecological networks have all been integral to studying infectious disease …

Background Humans are susceptible to over 1400 pathogens. Co-infection by multiple
pathogens is common, and can result in a range of neutral, facilitative, or antagonistic …

Coinfection with Plasmodium falciparum and helminths may impact the immune response to
these parasites because they induce different immune profiles. We studied the effects of …

It is well established that by modulating various immune functions, host infection may alter
the course of concomitant inflammatory diseases, of both infectious and autoimmune …

Malaria, caused by the Plasmodium species, is an infectious disease responsible for more
than 600 thousand deaths and more than 200 million morbidity cases annually. With above …

Interactions among parasites and other microbes within hosts can impact disease
progression, yet study of such interactions has been mostly limited to pairwise combinations …

Malaria and malnutrition remain among the leading causes of death in the developing world,
despite decades of large-scale research and control efforts. Epidemiologically, malaria and …

Rodents are major reservoirs of pathogens that can cause disease in humans and livestock.
It is therefore important to know what pathogens naturally circulate in rodent populations …
