	11.	Research Article HIV and intestinal parasite co-infections among a Chinese population: an immunological profile Li-Guang Tian, Tian-Ping Wang, Shan Lv, Feng-Feng Wang, Jian Guo, Xiao-Mei Yin, Yu-Chun Cai, Mary Dickey, Peter Steinmann, Jia-Xu Chen Infectious Diseases of Poverty 2013, 2:18 (23 August 2013) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary We carried out a survey to study the immune status of an HIV-infected population, and the effect of co-infection of HIV and intestinal parasites on selected parameters of the human immune system. Co-infected with different intestinal parasites may cause various changes of the immune status and associated disparate consequence.

	12.	Research Development of an in vitro drug sensitivity assay based on newly excysted larvae of Echinostoma caproni Gordana Panic, Katrin Ingram, Jennifer Keiser Parasites & Vectors 2013, 6:237 (13 August 2013) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary We describe the use of Newly Excysted Larvae (NEL) of Echinostoma caproni for in vitro drug testing. The established NEL motility assay mirrored the results of an assay using adult worms. However, the colorimetric markers resazurin, CellTiter-Glo¿ and Vybrant¿, tested as an alternative assay read-out method, did not reliably produce signals proportional to NEL viability or cytotoxicity.
