Journal Article
Effect of helminth-induced immunity on infections with microbial pathogens
2013
Overview
Under natural conditions, infections never occur in isolation, yet immunologists rarely consider the immunological outcome of multiple infections. In this Review, Gause and colleagues discuss how helminth infection affects antibacterial and antiviral responses.
Helminth infections are ubiquitous worldwide and can trigger potent immune responses that differ from and potentially antagonize host protective responses to microbial pathogens. In this Review we focus on the three main killers in infectious disease—AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria—and critically assesses whether helminths adversely influence host control of these diseases. We also discuss emerging concepts for how M2 macrophages and helminth-modulated dendritic cells can potentially influence the protective immune response to concurrent infections. Finally, we present evidence advocating for more efforts to determine how and to what extent helminths interfere with the successful control of specific concurrent coinfections.
