ProChi - a new biodrug to treat helminth infections: Intestinal parasites are among the most prevalent infectious diseases in the world. According to the WHO, the world has about 1,5 billion infected people. These neglected diseases severely affect children and adolescents from vulnerable social groups in Brazil. The current strategy to control infections is administering anthelmintic drugs to at-risk populations, especially school-age children. Although this recommendation efficiently reduces cases, it can lead to increased resistance of parasites to current therapeutic options. Additionally, the diseases leave behind intestinal damage that can intensify malnutrition scenarios. So, we propose a new treatment: ProChi, which consists of genetically engineered Lactobacillus acidophilus that produces and secretes chitinase, an enzyme that cleaves chitin - a polysaccharide in the cuticles and eggs of nematodes. Therefore, it can kill these parasites and promote a quicker reconstitution of the intestinal tissue, contributing to the re-establishment of the nutritional absorption compromised by the disease.
