The effect of infectious agents on the prevalence of allergies
CONCLUSIONS: A history of some forms of either infectious or parasitic diseases has a measurable effect on the risk of developing allergies.PMID:34597894 | DOI:10.1016/j.advms.2021.08.002

Immunomodulation by helminth parasites: Defining mechanisms and mediators.
Abstract Epidemiological and interventional human studies, as well as experiments in animal models, strongly indicate that helminth parasitic infections can confer protection from immune dysregulatory diseases such as allergy, autoimmunity and colitis. Here, we review the immunological pathways that helminths exploit to downregulate immune responses, both against bystander specificities such as allergens and against antigens from the parasites themselves. In particular, we focus on a highly informative laboratory system, the mouse intestinal nematode, Heligmosomoides polygyrus, as a tractable model of host-parasit...

Extracellular DNA traps in allergic, infectious, and autoimmune diseases
Abstract Extracellular DNA traps are part of the innate immune response and are seen with many infectious, allergic, and autoimmune diseases. They can be generated by several different leukocytes, including neutrophils, eosinophils, and monocytes, as well as mast cells. Here, we review the composition of these extracellular DNA‐containing structures as well as potential mechanisms for their production and function. In general, extracellular DNA traps have been described as binding to and killing pathogens, particularly bacteria, fungi, but also parasites. On the other hand, it is possible that DNA traps contribute to imm...

NIH-supported researchers identify new class of malaria compounds
(NIH/National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases) A group of researchers from 16 institutions around the world has identified a new class of anti-malarial compounds that target multiple stages of the malaria parasite's life cycle. These compounds could potentially be developed into drugs that treat and prevent malaria infection.
