Hookworms Evade Host Immunity by Secreting a Deoxyribonuclease to Degrade Neutrophil Extracellular Traps

Arne Seitz, Romain Guiet, Nicola Harris, Beatrice Volpe, Tiffany Babette Angélique Bouchery, Kathleen Shah, Mati André Marie Moyat, Manuel Kulagin

Hookworms cause a major neglected tropical disease, occurring after larvae penetrate the host skin. Neutrophils are phagocytes that kill large pathogens by releasing neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), but whether they target hookworms during skin infec ...

Inflammatory arthritis and systemic bone loss are attenuated by gastrointestinal helminth parasites

Nicola Harris, Mario Michael Zaiss, Manuel Kulagin

Infections with different helminth species have been observed to ameliorate a variety of chronic inflammatory diseases. Herein, we show that the natural murine helminth species, Heligmosomoides polygyrus bakeri (Hp) is capable of attenuating disease severi ...

Antibody-Mediated Trapping of Helminth Larvae Requires CD11b and Fc gamma Receptor I

Arne Seitz, Romain Guiet, Duncan-Bruce Sutherland, Nicola Harris, Benjamin John Marsland, Beatrice Volpe, Julia Esser-von Bieren, Manuel Kulagin

Infections with intestinal helminths severely impact on human and veterinary health, particularly through the damage that these large parasites inflict when migrating through host tissues. Host immunity often targets the motility of tissue-migrating helmin ...

Antibodies and IL-3 support helminth-induced basophil expansion

Nicola Harris, Mario Michael Zaiss, Julia Esser-von Bieren, Manuel Kulagin, Tina Herbst

Basophils are powerful mediators of Th2 immunity and are present in increased numbers during allergic inflammation and helminth infection. Despite their ability to potentiate Th2 immunity the mechanisms regulating basophil development remain largely unknow ...
