Article Synopsis
  • Ascaris infection, a common soil-transmitted helminth, may exacerbate asthma and allergic reactions through its influence on immune responses, specifically group-2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2).
  • * The study involved comparing non-infected and Ascaris-infected individuals, analyzing ILC subsets, their activation markers, and the presence of specific antibodies.
  • * Results showed that ILC2 activation markers were significantly higher in Ascaris-infected individuals, particularly those sensitized to a specific Ascaris antigen, suggesting a link between helminth infection and enhanced immune responses.

Article Synopsis
  • Tannin-rich plants in Africa are explored for their potential as natural treatments against parasitic nematodes in humans and livestock.
  • Recent research highlights that while compounds like procyanidin C1 and geraniin show effectiveness against hookworm and whipworm larvae in their unprocessed forms, their efficacy significantly diminishes after being metabolized by gut microbiota.
  • The study utilized human fecal suspensions to simulate metabolism and found that both the tannin extracts and their active compounds lost their anthelmintic effects after fermentation, indicating the need for further research on the metabolites' roles.
