title: Worming Their Way into the Picture: Microbiota Help Helminths Modulate Host Immunity.
abstract: Parasitic helminths are potent regulators of host immunity, including inhibition of allergic inflammation. In this issue of Immunity, Zaiss et al. (2015) reveal that microbiota compositional shifts during helminth infection contribute to the multifaceted ways that helminths modulate host immunity.
