Interaction between tissue-dwelling helminth and the gut microbiota drives mucosal immunoregulation

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Tissue-dwelling helminths affect billions of people around the world. They are potent manipulators of the host immune system, prominently by promoting regulatory T cells (Tregs) and are generally associated with a modified host gut microbiome. However, the role of the gut microbiota in the immunomodulatory processes for these non-intestinal parasites is still unclear. In the present study, we used an...
