Evasion of Immunity by Nematode Parasites Causing Chronic Infections

摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the evasion of immunity by nematode parasites causing chronic infections. Human infections are long-lasting (chronic), and people living in endemic areas may become infected early childhood carry worms for remainder their lives. considers those aspects immunological relationship between host parasite, field laboratory studies, that pertinent to an understanding mechanisms which is avoided thus, chronicity infection achieved. parasite epidemiologists, veterinary parasitologists, biologists, immunologists all have interest strategies employed evade immune responses also control measures aimed at breaking transmission these important pathogens. Much remains be accomplished this challenging area immunology, a closer liaison research groups interested ensures rapid progress near future.
