Immunity to gastrointestinal nematode infections [PDF]
Mucosal Immunology, 2018 Numerous species of nematodes have evolved to inhabit the gastrointestinal tract of animals and humans, with over a billion of the world's population infected with at least one species. These large multicellular pathogens present a considerable and complex challenge to the host immune system given that individuals are continually exposed to infective ...
