Helminth-induced alterations of the gut microbiota exacerbate bacterial colitis.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors showed that infection with the intestinal helminth parasite Heligmosomoides polygyrus exacerbates colitis caused by the bacterial enteropathogen Citrobacter rodentium.
Journal ArticleDOI

Helminth infection protects against high fat diet-induced obesity via induction of alternatively activated macrophages

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that the helminth-dependent protection against obesity involves the induction of M2 macrophages, as demonstrated in mice infected with the intestinal nematode parasite Heligmosomoides polygyrus.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The results suggest that impaired neutrophil recruitment is an important contributor to the enhanced severity of Salmonella enterocolitis associated with helminth coinfection.
