Susceptibility and immunity to helminth parasites
Parasitic helminth infection remains a global health problem, whilst the ability of worms to manipulate and dampen the host immune system is attracting interest in the fields of allergy and autoimmunity. Much progress has been made in the last two years in determining the cells and cytokines involved in induction of Type 2 immunity, which is generally protective against helminth infection. Inna...
متن کاملRegulation of the host immune system by helminth parasites
Helminth parasite infections are associated with a battery of immunomodulatory mechanisms that affect all facets of the host immune response to ensure their persistence within the host. This broad-spectrum modulation of host immunity has intended and unintended consequences, both advantageous and disadvantageous. Thus the host can benefit from suppression of collateral damage during parasite in...

متن کاملRegulation of allergy and autoimmunity in helminth infection.
Parasitic infections are a major theme in the "hygiene hypothesis", as allergies and autoimmune diseases are less prevalent in countries with higher burdens of helminths and other parasitic organisms. Helminths"-the grouping of multicellular worm parasites including nematodes, cestodes and trematodes-tend to establish long-lived, chronic infections indicating successful down-modulation of the h...
متن کاملRegulation of pathogenesis and immunity in helminth infections
Helminths are multicellular eukaryotic parasites that infect over one quarter of the world's population. Through coevolution with the human immune system, these organisms have learned to exploit immunoregulatory pathways, resulting in asymptomatic tolerance of infections in many individuals. When infections and the resulting immune responses become dysregulated, however, acute and chronic patho...
