Background Helminth parasites have been reported to have beneficial immunomodulatory
effects in patients with allergic and autoimmune conditions and detrimental consequences in�…

Helminths, including nematodes, cestodes and trematodes, are complex parasitic organisms
that infect at least one billion people globally living in extreme poverty. Helminthic infections�…

Allergic diseases are increasing at an alarming rate worldwide, particularly in developed
countries. In contrast, there is a decrease in the prevalence of helminthic infections and�…

The ability of helminths to manipulate the immune system of their hosts to ensure their own
survival is often credited with affecting responses to other pathogens. We undertook co�…

The prevalence of allergic asthma and incidences of helminth infections in humans are
inversely correlated. Although experimental studies have established the causal relation�…

BACKGROUND: Population studies have suggested that chronic and intense helminth
infections, in contrast to acute and mild helminth infections, might suppress allergic airway�…

Numerous epidemiological studies have shown an inverse correlation between helminth
infections and the manifestation of atopic diseases, yet the immunological mechanisms�…

Intestinal helminths are potent regulators of their host's immune system and can ameliorate
inflammatory diseases such as allergic asthma. In the present study we have assessed�…

This study investigates the relationship between helminth infection and allergic sensitization
by assessing the influence of preexisting allergy on the outcome of helminth infections�…

In this review, we examine the evidence that intestinal helminths can control harmful
inflammatory responses and promote homeostasis by triggering systemic immune�…
