Telomere Length in a South African Population Co-Infected with HIV and Helminths

Telomere Length in a South African Population Co-Infected with HIV and Helminths

Biological ageing refers to the gradual decrease in physiological functions, resulting in immune senescence, cellular damage and apoptosis. Telomere length is a biomarker of biological ageing. Limited studies have associated shorter telomere length with HIV and parasite single infections, with no st...
