Severe acute malnutrition (SAM) is a major challenge in low-income countries and gut microbiota (GM) dysbiosis may play a role in its etiology. Here, we determined the GM evolution during rehabilitation from SAM and the impact of probiotics (Lactobac

Clinical immunity against malaria is slow to develop, poorly understood and strongly strain-specific. Understanding how strain-specific immunity develops and identifying the parasite antigens involved is crucial to developing effective vaccines again

Despite many decades of research, no registered vaccine against the pathogenic blood stages of the malaria parasite exists, translating into the loss of many hundreds of thousands of young lives each year in tropical Africa. Although many parasite pr

A hypothesis has been erected stating that in the British Isles the acanthocephalan,Pomphorhynchus laeviscan be separated into 3 strains, an English, Irish and marine strain. Ecological and morphological evidence exists in support of this hypothesis.
