Schistosome Infection Intensity Is Inversely Related to Auto-Reactive Antibody Levels

Mutapi, F; Imai, N; Nausch, N; Bourke, CD; Rujeni, N; Mitchell, KM; Midzi, N; Woolhouse, MEJ; Maizels, RM; Mduluza, T (Public Library of Science, 2011-05-06)

In animal experimental models, parasitic helminth infections can protect the host from auto-immune diseases. We conducted a population-scale human study investigating the relationship between helminth parasitism and ...

Schistosome infection is associated with enhanced whole-blood IL-10 secretion in response to cercarial excretory/secretory products

Turner, JD; Meurs, L; Dool, P; Bourke, CD; Mbow, M; Dièye, TN; Mboup, S; Polman, K; Mountford, AP (Wiley Online, 2013-02-12)

Infection of the human host by schistosome parasites follows exposure of skin to free‐swimming cercariae and is aided by the release of excretory/secretory (E/S) material, which is rich in proteases and glycoconjugates. ...
