The gastrointestinal (GI) tract not only serves as the stage for these parasitic infections but also as the residence for millions of microbes. As the intricacies of the GI microbial milieu continue to unfold, it is becoming increasingly apparent that the interactions between host, parasite, and resident microbes help dictate parasite survival and, ultimately, disease outcomes. Across both clinical and experimental models, intestinal parasites have been shown to impact microbial composition and diversity. Reciprocally, microbes can directly influence parasitic survival, colonization and expulsion. The gut microbiota can also indirectly impact parasites through the influence and manipulation of the host. Studying this host\u2013parasite\u2013microbiota axis may help bring about novel therapeutic strategies for intestinal parasitic infection as well as conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In this review, we explore the relationship between intestinal parasites, with a particular focus on common protozoa and helminths, and the gut microbiota, and how these interactions can influence the host defence and intestinal immune response. We will also explore the impact of this tripartite relationship in a clinical setting and its broader implications for human health.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/pathogens13080608","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,24]],"date-time":"2024-07-24T10:46:20Z","timestamp":1721817980000},"page":"608","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":41,"title":["Interaction between Intestinal Parasites and the Gut Microbiota: Implications for the Intestinal Immune Response and Host Defence"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3815-9191","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jensine A.","family":"Grondin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Farncombe Family Digestive Health Research Institute, McMaster University, Hamilton, ON L8S 4L8, Canada"},{"name":"Department of Pathology and Molecular Medicine, McMaster University, Hamilton, ON L8S 4L8, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Asif","family":"Jamal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Farncombe Family Digestive Health Research Institute, McMaster University, Hamilton, ON L8S 4L8, Canada"},{"name":"Department of Pathology and Molecular Medicine, McMaster University, Hamilton, ON L8S 4L8, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sadrina","family":"Mowna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Farncombe Family Digestive Health Research Institute, McMaster University, Hamilton, ON L8S 4L8, Canada"},{"name":"Department of Pathology and Molecular Medicine, McMaster University, Hamilton, ON L8S 4L8, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tyler","family":"Seto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Farncombe Family Digestive Health Research Institute, McMaster University, Hamilton, ON L8S 4L8, Canada"},{"name":"Department of Pathology and Molecular Medicine, McMaster University, Hamilton, ON L8S 4L8, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Waliul I.","family":"Khan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Farncombe Family Digestive Health Research Institute, McMaster University, Hamilton, ON L8S 4L8, Canada"},{"name":"Department of Pathology and Molecular Medicine, McMaster University, Hamilton, ON L8S 4L8, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"World Health Organization (2024, June 23).
