To date, given the systems we have examined, the effects of HIV-1 on schistosomiasis have been more profound than the effects of schistosomiasis on HIV-1 progression. Additional key questions with important public health implications remain unanswered, but hopefully not unanswerable.}, keywords = {*HIV-1/immunology, Animals, CD4 Lymphocyte Count, Disease Progression, HIV Infections/*complications/immunology/parasitology, Humans, Kenya, Mice, Schistosomiasis mansoni/*complications/immunology}, isbn = {0074-0276 (Print)
