Helminths are masterful immunoregulators. A characteristic feature of helminth infection is a
Th2-dominated immune response, but stimulation of immunoregulatory cell populations …

Helminths are extraordinarily successful parasites due to their ability to modulate the host
immune response. They have evolved a spectrum of immunomodulatory molecules that are …

Helminth parasites are complex metazoans that belong to different taxonomic families but
that collectively share the capacity to downregulate the host immune response directed …

Immune regulation by parasites is a global concept that includes suppression, diversion,
and conversion of the host immune response to the benefit of the pathogen. While many …

Helminth parasites are masters at manipulating host immune responses, using an array of
sophisticated mechanisms. One of the major mechanisms enabling helminths to establish …

Helminths are metazoan organisms many of which have evolved parasitic life styles
dependent on sophisticated manipulation of the host environment. Most notably, they down …

Epidemiological and interventional human studies, as well as experiments in animal
models, strongly indicate that helminth parasitic infections can confer protection from …

Helminth parasite infections are associated with a battery of immunomodulatory
mechanisms that affect all facets of the host immune response to ensure their persistence …

Helminths are the largest and most complex pathogens to invade and live within the human
body. Since they are not able to outpace the immune system by rapid antigen variation or …

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 …
