Interactions between Schistosomiasis and Human Immunodeficiency Virus in Western Kenya
W Evan Secor; Diana MS Karanja & Daniel G Colley
Abstract
For the past ten years, we have been exploring the relationship between schistosomiasis and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) and how coinfection with both agents may affect the pathology and progression of each infection. To date, given the systems we have examined, the effects of HIV-1 on schistosomiasis have been more profound than the effects of schistosomiasis on HIV-1 progression. Additional key questions with important public health implications remain unanswered, but hopefully not unanswerable.
