  • Levels of serum eosinophil cationic protein are associated with hookworm infection and intensity in endemic communities in Ghana 
    Amoan, Benjamin; Adu, Bright; Frempong, Margaret T.; Sarkodie-Addo, Tracy; Nuvor, Samuel Victor; Wilson, Michael D.; Gyan, Ben (PLOS ONE, 2019)
    Background The eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) is a cytotoxic protein mainly secreted by eosinophils granulocytes and plays a role in host defense against parasitic infections. Infection with Necator americanus (hookworm) ...
