| Abstract |
Helminth parasites infect over 2 billion people worldwide resulting in huge global health and economic burden. Helminths typically stimulate Type 2 immune responses and excel at manipulating or suppressing host-immune responses resulting in chronic infections that can last for years to decades. Alongside the importance for the development of helminth treatments and vaccines, studying helminth immunity has unraveled many fundamental aspects of Type 2 immunity and immune regulation with implications for the treatment of autoimmunity and Type 2-mediated diseases, such as allergies. Here we describe the maintenance and use of Litomosoides sigmodontis, a murine model for studying host-parasite interactions, Type 2 immunity, and vaccines to tissue-dwelling filarial nematodes, which in humans cause lymphatic filariasis (e.g., Brugia malayi) and onchocerciasis (Onchocerca volvulus). |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 16 July 2018.
All research outputs
#7,987,905
of 25,506,250 outputs
Outputs from Methods in molecular biology
#2,412
of 14,235 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#148,176
of 450,326 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Methods in molecular biology
#216
of 1,486 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,506,250 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 68th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 14,235 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.5. This one has done well, scoring higher than 83% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 450,326 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 66% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 1,486 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its contemporaries.
