A gut feeling for microbes: getting it going between a parasite and its host
Abstract
We do not live in a sterile environment, but instead we are intimately associated with our commensal microbiota. Benson et al. (2009) suggest that host sensing of these microbes takes a pivotal role in getting the immune system up and running in response to a major intestinal parasite.
