Helminth–HIV Coinfection: Should We Deworm?
The prevalence of helminthic infections in most of the developing countries is overwhelming, and almost a quarter of the world’s population is infected by them. Likewise, with the spread of the AIDS epidemic, dual helminthic and HIV-1 coinfections are extremely common, particularly in Africa [1]. Several years ago we suggested that helminth infections play a major role in the pathogenesis of HI...
متن کاملRules Governing Selective Protein Carbonylation
BACKGROUND Carbonyl derivatives are mainly formed by direct metal-catalysed oxidation (MCO) attacks on the amino-acid side chains of proline, arginine, lysine and threonine residues. For reasons unknown, only some proteins are prone to carbonylation. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS we used mass spectrometry analysis to identify carbonylated sites in: BSA that had undergone in vitro MCO, and 23...
متن کاملCoinfection. Virus-helminth coinfection reveals a microbiota-independent mechanism of immunomodulation.
The mammalian intestine is colonized by beneficial commensal bacteria and is a site of infection by pathogens, including helminth parasites. Helminths induce potent immunomodulatory effects, but whether these effects are mediated by direct regulation of host immunity or indirectly through eliciting changes in the microbiota is unknown. We tested this in the context of virus-helminth coinfection...
متن کاملFrom host immunity to pathogen invasion: the effects of helminth coinfection on the dynamics of microparasites.
Concurrent infections with multiple parasites are ubiquitous in nature. Coinfecting parasites can interact with one another in a variety of ways, including through the host's immune system via mechanisms such as immune trade-offs and immunosuppression. These within-host immune processes mediating interactions among parasites have been described in detail, but how they scale up to determine dise...
متن کاملO-14: General Governing Rules of ART Contracts Involving Third Parties
Background: ART contracts involving third parties have been created while clinical reproductive treatments are globally widespread. Iran is pioneer in applying these treatments in middle-east due to shii’at jurisprudence prescribing them. This key role in region, has raised Iranian jurists’ responsibility in developing a legal system regarding administration of ART. The most significant part of...
