“…Infection of various pathogenic microorganisms has been thought associated with increased risk of PD, including Helicobacter pylori (HP; Shen, Yang, Wu, Zhang, & Jiang, 2017), hepatitis C virus (HCV; Wijarnpreecha, Chesdachai, Jaruvongvanich, & Ungprasert, 2018), Malassezia (Laurence, Benito-León, & Calon, 2019), Chlamydophila pneumoniae (C. pneumonia; Bu et al, 2015), hepatitis B virus (HBV; Wijarnpreecha et al, 2018), influenza virus (Vlajinac et al, 2013), measles (Vlajinac et al, 2013), varicella-zoster virus (VZV; Hemling et al, 2003), mumps (Vlajinac et al, 2013), German measles (Vlajinac et al, 2013), pertussis (Vlajinac et al, 2013), scarlet fever (Vlajinac et al, 2013), rheumatic fever (Vlajinac et al, 2013), diphtheria (Vlajinac et al, 2013), cytomegalovirus (CMV; Bu et al, 2015), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV; Bu et al, 2015), herpes virus (HSV; Hemling et al, 2003), and Borrelia burgdorferi (B. burgdorferi; Bu et al, 2015). However, there are also studies indicated that infection of these pathogenic microorganisms may decrease or does not affect the risk of PD (Harris, Tsui, Marion, Shen, & Teschke, 2012).…”
