Developed Countries

Developing Countries
Parasitic helminth infections
>300 million worldwide
Intestinal nematodes (>2 billion)
Asthma prevalence increased 75%
from 1980-1994
Tissue filaria (>120 million)
Tapeworms (>2 million)
>70% asthma patients have allergy
Schistosomes (>200 million)
1:8-12 US children
>$20 billion/yr health care costs US
Major causes of liver failure,
bladder cancer, elephantiasis,
blindness, epilepsy
(post-reproductive morbidity)
A word about helminths
Account for ~80% of all individual animals on earth
Estimates up to 106 species
Three major, two minor clades - all includes parasitic species
2.9 billion humans estimated infected
Universal in rural subtropical environments typical of human evolution
Essentially universal in feral vertebrates (mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians)
Genome size ~ 20,000
If type 2 immunity protects us from
helminths, it doesn’t do a very good
job…
Maybe helminths exploit the pathway for
other things…

( mucus, eosinophils, T cells with IL-4, IL-5,

type 2 cytokines;
chronic subepithelial, epithelial changes with
mucus cell hyperplasia)

Topics for discussion
Asthma reaches prevalence levels of 8%-12% in some urban Westernized
populations. Allergic asthma is predominantly a disease of childhood. Consider the
impact of genetics, environment and development in constructing a model to explain
the immunologic underpinnings explaining the increasing prevalence of asthma.
How would you proceed to validate and/or intervene therapeutically based on your
conclusions?
Asthma is an integrated tissue response involving innate and adaptive cell crosstalk. Delineate the relevant cell types, the pathways believed to drive the tissue
pathology, and identify shared ‘nodes’ of intervention designed to disrupt the
cytokine/cellular network in order to restore homeostasis. Consider possible ‘offtarget’ side-effects, even in other tissues.
