Parasite Immunology

Parasite Immunology may be a world journal dedicated to research on all aspects of parasite immunology in human and animal hosts. Emphasis has been placed on how hosts control parasites, and thus the immunopathological reactions which happen within the course of parasitic infections. Extensive research shows that parasitic worms have the facility to deactivate certain system cells, leading to a gentler immune response. Often, such a response is beneficial to both parasite and host, according to Professor of Medical Microbiology Graham Rook of University College London. This immune "relaxation" is incorporated throughout the system, decreasing immune responses against harmless allergens, gut flora, and thus the body itself. In their Parasite Immunology article on worms and viral infections, Dr. Kamal et al. explain why some parasitic worms aggravate the immune response. Because parasitic worms often induce Th2 cells and cause suppressed Th1 cells, problems arise when Th1 cells are needed. within the past, helminthic were thought to easily suppress T-helper Type 1 (Th1) cells while inducing T-helper Type 2 (Th2) cells. However, helminthic also regulate Th2-caused diseases, like allergy and asthma.
