The global helminth belt and Covid-19: the new eosinophilic link

2020-05-28

Abstract excerpt

This paper expands on our previous report of a striking fact: the low prevalence of the Covid-19 disease in tropical and subtropical areas of the world coincides with the areas of global high prevalence of helminth infestation. In the former paper, we asked if this could be due to a predominant immune phenotype in the populations chronically infected by helminth parasites. We then quoted literature that confirms t...
