The gut microbiota is essential for Trichinella spiralis-evoked suppression of colitis

H. Sun, S. R. Long, M. Jiang, H. R. Zhang, J. J. Wang, Z. X. Liao, J. Cui, Z. Q. Wang

This study shows that Trichinella spiralis infection protects against colitis in mice by altering the gut microbiota, increasing SCFA-producing bacteria, and enhancing goblet cell differentiation and IL-10 levels.
