Abstract:Background
Hosts typically elicit diverse immune responses to the infection of various parasitic worms, with intestinal tuft cells playing a pivotal role in detecting parasite invasion. Hymenolepis nana (H. nana), a zoonotic parasitic worm, resides in the host's intestine. The contribution and underlying mechanisms of tuft cell-mediated immune reactions against H. nana remain unexplored.
Methods
This study endeavors to examine the immune responses in the mouse intestine elicited by the adult H. nana and its … Show more
