The AKR/J strain of mice experimentally infected with Strongyloides venezuelensis 45 days after the intraperitoneal inoculation of Schistosoma mansoni cercariae presented a reduction of S. venezuelensis larvae in the lungs and females in the intestine. These females also showed reduced length and fecundity when compared with mice infected with S. venezuelensis only. These results suggest a negative interaction between these helminths leading alteration in immune response of the host, adverse to S. venezuelensis infection.Downloads
