[HTML][HTML] Helminth immunoregulation: the role of parasite secreted proteins in modulating host immunity
Helminths are masterful immunoregulators. A characteristic feature of helminth infection is a
Th2-dominated immune response, but stimulation of immunoregulatory cell populations …

A novel nematode effector suppresses plant immunity by activating host reactive oxygen species‐scavenging system
Evidence is emerging that plant‐parasitic nematodes can secrete effectors to interfere with
the host immune response, but it remains unknown how these effectors can conquer host …
