    Abstract: Vaccines are responsible for the reduced cases of mortality caused by infections worldwide. However a number of studies have shown that helminth infections have strong immune modulatory effects. Due to this, they have been considered as one of the contributing causes of lowered immune responses induced by vaccines observed in developing areas, wher... Show More
