Supplemented nutrition increases immunity and drug efficacy in a natural host-helminth system

2019-11-11

Abstract excerpt

Gastrointestinal helminths are common parasites of humans, wildlife, and livestock, leading to chronic infections in large parts of the world. In humans, there is also an overlap in the incidence of malnutrition and helminth infections which can predispose individuals to higher infection burdens and reduced anthelmintic efficacy due to compromised immunity. This relationship has been well-studied in laboratory mod...
