  • Title: Helminthiasis, bystander diseases and vaccines: analysis of interaction.
    Author: Markus MB, Fincham JE.
    Journal: Trends Parasitol; 2007 Nov; 23(11):517-9. PubMed ID: 17933584.
    Abstract:
    Helminthiasis has assumed a new medical and veterinary significance following the recognition of its immunomodulatory consequences for the severity of bystander conditions and the efficacy of immunization against non-helminthic diseases of humans and livestock. Recent papers by Jackson et al. and Turner et al. have an important bearing on research in these areas. One of the implications of their work is that the parasitological criterion of egg-positivity versus egg-negativity is too simplistic to use in co-infection and related studies unless accompanied by immunological analysis.
