Do Parasites Protect Against SARS-CoV-2?
The world has rarely seen such a readily transmissible infection as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) over the last century. However, the spread of the virus is slower than expected in Africa. A new study by researchers at Makerere University and the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine is focused on finding any possible link between the low risk of infection and parasitic infections.
