Immune Evasion Strategies of Schistosomes [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Human schistosomes combat the unique immune systems of two vastly different hosts during their indirect life cycles. In gastropod molluscs, they face a potent innate immune response composed of variable immune recognition molecules and highly phagocytic ...

Filoviral Immune Evasion Mechanisms [PDF]
Viruses, 2011 The Filoviridae family of viruses, which includes the genera Ebolavirus (EBOV) and Marburgvirus (MARV), causes severe and often times lethal hemorrhagic fever in humans. Filoviral infections are associated with ineffective innate antiviral responses as a

Innate immune evasion by alphaviruses
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 Alphaviruses contain many human and animal pathogens, such as CHIKV, SINV, and VEEV. Accumulating evidence indicates that innate immunity plays an important role in response to alphaviruses infection.

Immune Evasion Strategies of Glioblastoma [PDF]
Frontiers in Surgery, 2016 Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most devastating brain tumor, with associated poor prognosis. Despite advances in surgery and chemoradiation, the survival of afflicted patients has not improved significantly in the past three decades.

Viral mechanisms of immune evasion [PDF]
Immunology Today, 2000 During the millions of years they have coexisted with their hosts, viruses have learned how to manipulate host immune control mechanisms. Viral gene functions provide an overview of many relevant principles in cell biology and immunology. Our knowledge of viral gene functions must be integrated into virus-host interaction networks to understand viral ...

Immune Evasion of Mycoplasma bovis [PDF]
Pathogens, 2021 Mycoplasma bovis (M. bovis) causes various chronic inflammatory diseases, including mastitis and bronchopneumonia, in dairy and feed cattle. It has been found to suppress the host immune response during infection, leading to the development of chronic ...

Pathogen evasion of social immunity
Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2023 AbstractTreating sick group members is a hallmark of collective disease defence in vertebrates and invertebrates alike. Despite substantial effects on pathogen fitness and epidemiology, it is still largely unknown how pathogens react to the selection pressure imposed by care intervention.

Overcoming Immune Evasion in Melanoma [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020 Melanoma is the most aggressive and dangerous form of skin cancer that develops from transformed melanocytes. It is crucial to identify melanoma at its early stages, in situ, as it is “curable” at this stage. However, after metastasis, it is difficult to treat and the five-year survival is only 25%.

Spirochetal Lipoproteins and Immune Evasion [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2017 Spirochetes are a major threat to public health. However, the exact pathogenesis of spirochetal diseases remains unclear. Spirochetes express lipoproteins that often determine the cross talk between the host and spirochetes. Lipoproteins are pro-inflammatory, modulatory of immune responses, and enable the spirochetes to evade the immune system. In this

Evasion of immune responses by Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2011 Infection with the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi leads to Chagas disease, which affects millions of people in Latin America. Infection with T. cruzi cannot be eliminated by the immune system.
