Intestinal parasitic infections are among the most widespread of human infections in developing countries, and children are the most vulnerable. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of protozoa and intestinal helminthes, as well as the risk factors of intestinal parasites in schoolchildren in Salé city, Morocco. This is a study of incidence and prevalence conducted prospectivel...

Asthma is common in urban centers in Latin America, but atopic asthma may not be the main phenotype among children. Helminth infections are highly prevalent in poor populations and we hypothesized that they attenuate allergic asthma, while other factors are related to the expression of a non-atopic wheeze/asthma phenotype. A total of 1982 children aged 10.1 (0.76) years (SD) from Southern Brazi...

Helminths infections are chronic illness in human being and cattle.

Tuberculosis and intestinal parasites affect primarily low social and economic level populations, living clustered in precarious habitational settings. One of the interesting aspects of this interaction is the parasitism influence in cellular response to tuberculosis. In the present study, we evaluated the prevalence of enteroparasitosis in tuberculosis patients, HIV-infected and non HIV infect...
