The article focuses on research completed on helminth worms and their ability to infect humans with bacteria and disease. Topics include the helminth's ability to reactivate latent murine herpesvirus in microphages, the susceptibility of humans to viral infection from helminths, and the adaptation of the helminth in response to the immunological status of hosts.
