Impact of STAT-6 dependent immunity on the rodent hookworm, Nippostrongylus brasiliensis

Adult female stages of the blood-feeding rodent hookworm, Nippostrongylus brasiliensis, become larger, more fecund, and show increased hemoglobin content when passaged through hosts lacking STAT-6 dependent Type 2 immunity (Right), compared to hosts with intact immunity (Left). Ferguson et al 2023
