Hookworms are parasites that live inside your intestines, and as many as 740 million people worldwide are estimated to be infected. Our team just published our innovative work (doi.org/10.1371/journa…) on developing the world's first hookworm mRNA vaccine🤩 More to come out!

🚨 Publication 🚨 Does location outside houses differ in parasite contamination risks? Our molecular epidemiology in Peru shows there is a link. Wonderful to see our collaboration as a research publication. Eric Wetzel Katharine Zeng BCM_TropMed link.springer.com/article/10.118…

World Chagas disease Day was celebrated last week to raise attention to this preventable disease. Here you see a human cell that is infected with +100 T. cruzi parasites. In our lab, we screen the surface of these infected cells using mass spectrometry journals.plos.org/plospathogens/…
