Helminths are extraordinarily successful parasites due to their ability to modulate the host
immune response. They have evolved a spectrum of immunomodulatory molecules that are …

Although helminth infections are characteristically associated with Th2‐mediated responses
that include the production of the prototypical cytokines IL‐4, IL‐5 and IL‐13 by CD 4+ cells …

The molecular basis for the propensity of a small number of environmental proteins to
provoke allergic responses is largely unknown. Herein, we report that mite group 13 …

The potentially lethal zoonotic diseases alveolar and cystic echinococcosis are caused by
the metacestode larval stages of the tapeworms Echinococcus multilocularis and …

Despite causing considerable damage to host tissue at the onset of parasitism, invasive
helminths establish remarkably persistent infections in both animals and plants. Secretions …

Background Baylisascaris schroederi is the most common and harmful intestinal parasitic
nematode of giant pandas, causing ascariasis. Although drug deworming is the main …

In the last two decades, extracellular vesicles (EVs) from the three domains of life, Archaea,
Bacteria and Eukaryotes, have gained increasing scientific attention. As such, the role of …

Fatty acid–and retinol-binding proteins (FARs) belong to a unique family of
excreted/secreted proteins (ESPs) found exclusively in nematodes. Much of our …

Platyhelminthes, also known as flatworms, is a phylum of bilaterian invertebrates infamous
for their parasitic representatives. The classes Cestoda, Monogenea, and Trematoda …

Dendritic cells (DCs) are essential for generating T‐cell‐based immune responses through
sensing of potential inflammatory and metabolic cues in the local environment. However …
