Protection of Parasites Against COVID-۱۹ and Other Viruses

Coronavirus disease ۲۰۱۹ (COVID-۱۹) is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus ۲ (SARS-CoV-۲). This disease started in China in December ۲۰۱۹ (۱). However, the spread of the virus is slower than expected in Africa. A new study was conducted by researchers at Makerere University and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and published in medRxiv in May ۲۰۱۹ which focused on finding any possible link between the low risk of infection and parasitic infections (۱,۲).
