摘要：
Helminths are able to modulate and Suppress the hosts' immune response in order to promote their own Survival. This ability to alter immune responses Could be of potential detriment to the host if it interferes with the development of protective immune responses against other infections. However, helminth infections have also been Suggested to be beneficial in the control of excessive inflammatory, reactions. In this review I will highlight some of the data Suggesting both positive and negative effects of helminth infections in humans and in experimental models. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
