Experimental evolution of Plasmodium yoelii in single and helminth-coinfected mice

This study investigates how Plasmodium yoelii adapts to single or coinfected host environments through experimental evolution, finding no difference in virulence between evolved lines but showing adaptation to environmental context.

Disease severity in coinfected hosts: the importance of infection order

This study shows that the order of infection with two parasites affects disease severity, with Py causing more severe symptoms after Hp infection due to impaired immune responses and increased anemia.

Coinfection with malaria alters the dynamics and fitness of an intestinal nematode

This study shows that malaria coinfection increases egg excretion and prolongs the persistence of an intestinal nematode in mice, mediated by reduced Th2 immunity.
