Meanings of helminths in English

Parasitic helminths evade, skew and dampen human immune responses through numerous mechanisms.

These data suggest that allatostatin-like peptides and receptors occur in helminths.

Ascaris lumbricoides or roundworm is one of the key soil-transmitted helminths affecting humans.

Eosinophils are one of the major mammalian effector cells encountered by helminths during infection.

This is particularly apparent when comparing gastrointestinal and tissue-dwelling helminths.

Parasitic helminths have developed complex mechanisms to modulate host immunity.

The observed small-scale heterogeneity of helminths and intestinal protozoan infections has important implications for control.

Intestinal helminths induce immune suppressive responses thought to regulate inflammatory diseases including allergies and autoimmune diseases.

Forty-four percent had at least one parasite detected, and 24% were infected with helminths.

Parasite-specific respiratory systems are also found in helminths.

Background: Intestinal helminths are pathogens for domestic animals and provide a source of potential infection for humans.

The number of CD23 molecules on B cells is increased during allergic responses and infection with helminths.

Primary function of basophils appears to be the protection against infections with parasites, including ticks and helminths.

The results were consistent with theoretical knowledge of the biology and epidemiology of the four studied helminths.

The helminths were introduced with the goats at the establishment of the farms which afterwards remained isolated.

Failure of the QFT-GIT mitogen response was associated with African ethnicity and co-morbid infections, particularly with helminths.
