Background: Prior studies have demonstrated associations between helminths and mycobacterial infections, suggesting a can alter the susceptibility do mycobacterial infection or disease. Our goal was to assess the association of Methods: Adults and children ages 3 years and older were enrolled from communities in Governador Valadares, Minas Gerais, Brazil, and nearby municipalities. Questionnaires on demographics and infection history were administered. Serological reactivity against Results: Of 1,311 enrollees, 72 (5.5%) reported a prior history of HD, 94 (7.2%) tested positive for anti-LID-1, 836 (63.8%) reported having one or more parasitic diseases in the past, 153 (11.7%) tested positive for antibodies to schistosoma egg antigen (SEA), and 69 (5.3%) for antibodies to the Conclusion: This study utilized a novel methodology (multiplex bead assay) to simultaneously measure seroreactivity among various pathogens. While we did not find that a history of HD and anti-LID-1 positivity were associated with seropositivity to NIE or SEA, our study found a high burden of several neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). There was also a strong association with rural residence and LID-1 positivity. This warrants further investigation into the prevalence and epidemiology of
