Immune-dependent granulomatous inflammation is important in the pathogenesis of both schistosomiasis and tuberculosis. A case has previously been made for a role for schistosome egg-induced granulomas in the onward transmission of infection. Here, Mike Doenhoff suggests that a similar hypothesis app
Throughout recent history, the tropical regions of the world have been affected more severely by infectious diseases than the temperate world. Much of the success of infectious diseases in that region is due to both biological and environmental factors that encourage high levels of biodiversity in h
