A possible role for helminth infection was assessed in this study.

IgE concentration was not associated with the presence of helminth infection.

However, the function of macrophages during helminth infection remains unclear.

The results were analyzed in relation to actual helminth infection as revealed by necropsy.

Our data are also compatible with the idea that atopy might protect against helminth infection.

However, the effect of helminth infection on the homeostatic milieu in obesity is not well-understood.

Nursing of pups by helminth -exposed mothers transferred protective cellular immunity to these offspring against helminth infection.

Conclusion: The prevalence of helminth infection in Guinea is high, and there is a regional distribution.

This cell population is traditionally defined as a destructive and cytotoxic mediator in asthma and helminth infection.

Here, we identify maternal immune imprinting of offspring nursed by mothers who had a pre-conception helminth infection.

Herein, we used single-cell analysis to explore the diversity of gene expression among lung lymphocytes during helminth infection.

Multivariate analysis showed that age, female sex, and residing in the floodplain were significant determinants of helminth infection.

We show that an ongoing helminth infection increased colonization by Salmonella independently of T regulatory or Th2 cells.

Whether a helminth infection interferes with the development of colitis-associated colon cancer (CAC) is not yet known.

However, helminth infection can also be detrimental in reducing vaccine responses, increasing susceptibility to coinfection and potentially reducing tumor immunosurveillance.

Eosinophilia is a common finding in returning travellers and migrants, and in this group it often indicates an underlying helminth infection.
