The main cause of death and disease in animals and humans can be called parasitic worms . This is particularly problematic is reflected in the developing countries where the low level of hygiene and health in general.
The discovery, made by British scientists from the University of Manchester, is able to save billions of lives. The question of whether, because of what some people have natural protection from infection by worms - parasites, while others are not settled.
Doctor David Thornton He explained that most worms parasitize intestine Protected mucus layer containing not only salts and water, but also high-molecular glycoproteins or mucin . It is this substance makes the mucus gel. It was found that the intestinal mucus some people and animals, contains mucin Muc5ac, which has toxic properties for worms.
Studies were conducted on mice and showed that to cope with a fairly common parasitic worm trihurozom or whipworm (Trihuris muris), may be only the mouse, which produces a lot of mucus, containing mucin Muc5ac. Other mice that are not identified the genetic ability to produce this component, could not resist the parasites even in the presence of a strong general immunity.
Journal Journal of Experimental Medicine published data from which it follows that mucin It can also withstand the spiral pinworms and Hookworms . Doctors hope that these studies will help to clarify the ability to resist parasitic worms, and in the future, and to develop techniques for the treatment of people from these diseases.
