Helminth Infections: Recognition and Modulation of the Immune Response by Innate Immune Cells [PDF]

, 2018
The survival of helminths in the host over long periods of time is the result of a process of adaptation or dynamic co-evolution between the host and the parasite. However, infection with helminth parasites causes damage to the host tissues producing the
