Infection with gut parasites correlates with gut microbiome diversity across human populations in Africa

2025-01-24

Abstract excerpt

Soil-transmitted helminths (STH) are common in (sub)tropical regions and primarily affect impoverished populations. STHs reside in the gut, interacting both with the gut microbiota and host immunity. Clinical STH detection is laborious and often not performed within the context of gut microbiome studies. Here, we assessed whether fecal metagenome data could be used to assess STH infection, and to relate STH infect...
