| pubmed-article:16393348 | pubmed:abstractText | There is unequivocal evidence that parasites influence the immune activity of their hosts, and many of the classical examples of this are drawn from assessment of helminth infections of their mammalian hosts. Thus, helminth infections can impact on the induction or course of other diseases that the host might be subjected to. Epidemiological studies demonstrate that world regions with high rates of helminth infections consistently have reduced incidences of autoimmune and other allergic/inflammatory-type conditions. Here I review and assess the possible ways by which helminth infections can block or modulate concomitant disease processes. There is much to be learned from careful analysis of immuno-regulation in helminth-infected rodents and from an understanding of the immune status of acutely and chronically infected humans. The ultimate reward from this type of investigation will likely be a more comprehensive knowledge of immunity, novel ways to intervene in the immune response to alleviate autoimmune and allergic diseases (growing concerns in economically developed areas), and perhaps the development of helminth therapy for patients suffering from specific inflammatory, autoimmune or allergic disorders. | lld:pubmed |
