Why is it important?
Both HIV and Schistosomiasis are claiming millions of lives around the world; thus, discovering a prevention alternative that involves vaccines and or Immunotherapeutic options are crucial components to to have a healthier world.
Perspectives
See a functional prevention strategy against HIV and Schistosomiasis. Helpful combination of adjuvant and live-attenuated HIV vaccines and a clinically usable antibody and or cytokine treatment option that mimics the self-cure process in schistosome-infected rhesus macaques.
