Cytokine pattern during asymptomatic Anaplasma spp. infections and effect of co-infections by malaria and helminths in schoolchildren of Franceville, southeastern Gabon
These results suggest that infection with Anaplasma spp. downregulates cytokines including IL-6, IL-22 and TGF-β and that co-infection with Plasmodium spp. might have a protective effect on the host, while co-infection with helminths might have a negative effect.
