Cellular responses and cytokine production in post‐treatment hookworm patients from an endemic area in Brazil

SUMMARY Human hookworm infections are distributed widely in tropical areas and have a significant impact on host morbidity and human health. In the present study, we investigated the cellular responsiveness and cytokine production in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from Necator americanus‐...
