Hookworm genes encoding intestinal excreted-secreted proteins are transcriptionally upregulated in response to the host’s immune system
2025-02-03
Abstract excerpt
Hookworms are intestinal parasitic nematodes that chronically infect ∼500 million people, with reinfection common even after clearance by drugs. How infecting hookworms successfully overcome host protective mechanisms is unclear, but it may involve hookworm proteins that digest host tissues, or counteract the host’s immune system, or both. To find such proteins in the zoonotic hookworm Ancylostoma ceylanicum , we...
