Strongyloides stercoralis coinfection impairs immune control of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in TB infected individuals

<i>Ss</i> co-infection impairs host antimycobacterial control by skewing TBI immune responses toward Th2/regulatory pathways at the expense of protective Th1/Th17 mechanisms. Our data demonstrate that the importance of considering <i>Ss</i> co-infection into account when developing TB control and vaccination strategies in endemic areas.
