Background mouse Plasmodium strain Helminth type Coinfection time* Malaria disease outcome Ref.
BALB/c P. yoelii 17 NXL E. caproni 3 wks Ec showed counterregulatory antiparasite cytokine responses to non-lethal strain PyNXL (less IFN-γ and high IL-4 levels induced by Ec) [148]
BALB/c P. yoelii 17 NXL E. caproni 5 wks Increased mortality and pathology; the pathology was reversible through clearance of Ec by praziquantel treatment [151]
BALB/c P. yoelii 17XL E. caproni 5 wks Ec does not alter the course of Py17XL infection [151]
