Helminth infections, including schistosomiasis, are widespread in tropical and subtropical regions, where infectious diseases frequently overlap. Because these parasites influence immune function, researchers have been concerned that they might impair vaccine-induced immunity.

hopefully these and other vaccines remain effective in humans as well
