Dynamics of the bacterial gut microbiota during controlled human infection with Necator americanus larvae

Dynamics of the bacterial gut microbiota during controlled human infection with Necator americanus larvae

Hookworms are soil-transmitted helminths that use immune-evasive strategies to persist in the human duodenum where they are responsible for anemia and protein loss.
