Hepatosplenomegaly associated with chronic malaria exposure: evidence for a pro-inflammatory mechanism exacerbated by schistosomiasisS Wilson
Department of Pathology, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK
Parasite Immunol 31:64-71. 2009..mansoni infected children, compared to those without detectable S. mansoni and malarial infections, but exposed to malaria, suggest that S. mansoni infection may augment the underlying inflammatory reaction...

Department of Pathology, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom
PLoS Negl Trop Dis 6:e1593. 2012..In addition to containing dynein-light-chain domains, these TALs also contain EF-hand domains similar to those found in numerous EF-hand allergens...

, IFR 17, Institut Pasteur de Lille, 1 rue du Prof. Calmette, 59019 Lille, France
Infect Immun 74:3347-54. 2006..In addition, the levels of anti-SmLRR IgG4, but not the levels of IgG3, correlated positively with the intensity of S. mansoni infection...
