Schistosomiasis and HIV-1 infection in rural Zimbabwe: implications of coinfection for excretion of eggs
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Stunted development and reduced fecundity of Schistosoma parasites in immunodeficient mice and the impaired ability of human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1)-infected humans to excrete schistosome eggs have been described. This study explores the effect that HIV-1-associated immunodeficiency has on the excretion of schistosome eggs in a large cohort of coinfected individuals.
