Helminthiasis in a Tropical Environment in Immunomodulatory Role Regulating Dynamics of COVID-19 Infections

The threatening disease due to novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, left the public at large bewildered, first, because of the virus’s speed of mutation virus and, second, because of the severe, rapid mortality once people were under the grip of infections. The multiplicity of strains worsened the mortality rate within the country, though the mortality rate in comparison to the global status was just 1.28%, which was minimum as compared to other countries. Yet the point of serious concern was the transmissibility of coronavirus at a much higher rate of severity abroad, particularly where cleaner environment prevailed, as well as the low-income people were in abundance in India. The interpretation of data from the American Society of Parasitologists revealed declining severity of COVID-19 symptoms in patients who harbored helminth infections. Under Indian conditions, the environmental impact was substantiated by authors earlier to highlight the subdued moderating influence of lowered relative humidity on higher climatic temperature to regulate the prevalence and severity of COVID-19. Additionally, in the tropical environment, the status of helminth infestation was given credence to the hypothesis that it had a critical impact on the declining severity of COVID-19. The rapidly changing climatic conditions and the pattern of virus activity after every mutation are, therefore, under review.
