Malnutrition and parasitic helminth infections.
The Global Burden of Disease caused by the 3 major intestinal nematodes is an estimated 22.1 million disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) lost for hookworm, 10.5 million for Ascaris lumbricoides, 6.4 million for Trichuris trichiura, and 39.0 million for the three infections combined (as compared with malaria at 35.7 million) (World Bank, 1993; Chan et al. 1994); these figures illustrate why s...
متن کاملSome aspects of the immunologic factors in corneal grafts.
The general basic problems of homotransplantation are briefly reviewed; and pertinent aspects of the factors involved are applied to the corneal graft problem. It is pointed, out that one of the most important questions yet to be solved is the isolation and characterization of the antigens involved. The necessity for an in vitro technique to study this problem prompted the preparation of antico...
متن کاملParasitic helminth infections and the control of human allergic and autoimmune disorders.
The profile of global health today presents a striking reciprocal distribution between parasitic diseases in many of the world's lower-income countries, and ever-increasing levels of inflammatory disorders such as allergy, autoimmunity and inflammatory bowel diseases in the more affluent societies. Attention is particularly focused on helminth worm parasites, which are associated with protectio...
متن کاملThe role of eosinophils in parasitic helminth infections: insights from genetically modified mice.
Eosinophilia - an increase in the number of eosinophils in the blood or tissues - has historically been recognized as a distinctive feature of helminth infections in mammals. Yet the precise functions of these cells are still poorly understood. Many scientists consider that their primary function is protection against parasites, although there is little unequivocal in vivo evidence to prove thi...
