Evidence for an association between human resistance to Schistosoma mansoni and high anti-larval IgE levels.

Pascal Rihet, +4 more
- 01 Nov 1991 - 
TL;DR: Observations can be taken as evidence supporting a role of IgE in human resistance to infection by S. mansoni.
Journal ArticleDOI

Th1/Th2 immune responses are associated with active cutaneous leishmaniasis and clinical cure is associated with strong interferon-γ production

Lúcio Roberto Cançado Castellano, +6 more
- 01 Jun 2009 - 
TL;DR: The results suggest the presence of a mixed Th1/Th2 response during active disease and that clinical cure is associated with a sustained Th1 response characterized by elevated IFN-gamma levels and down-modulation of IL-4 and IL-10 production.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mixed inflammatory/regulatory cytokine profile marked by simultaneous raise of interferon-gamma and interleukin-10 and low frequency of tumour necrosis factor-alpha(+) monocytes are hallmarks of active human visceral Leishmaniasis due to Leishmania chagasi infection.

Vanessa Peruhype-Magalhães, +11 more
- 01 Oct 2006 - 
TL;DR: It is hypothesize that IL‐10, through its ability to inhibit anti‐leishmanial macrophage activation, associated with the lower frequency of TNF‐α+ monocytes and ordinary levels of nitrite and nitrate are the major mechanisms associated with disease onset.
Journal ArticleDOI

Problems and perspectives for Chagas disease control: in search of a realistic analysis

João Carlos Pinto Dias, +2 more
- 01 Mar 2008 - 
TL;DR: Consolidation of the victories against Chagas disease is attainable but depends on political will and continual attention from the most consequential protagonists in this struggle, especially the Latin American scientific community.
Journal ArticleDOI

Joachim Richter, +4 more
- 01 Jan 2001 -
