Parasites in the immunized host: Mechanisms of survival : book review

Abstract

Despite the fact that parasites provoke immune responses in their host, they appear to have adapted themselves to those responses in ways which ensure their survival and transmission. At the symposium, 14 papers were presented, in which these escape mechanisms were further discussed for some protozoan and helminth infections. Each paper is followed by a discussion. A literature list is attached to every presented paper, but also to the discussion, which makes it easy to find other relevant literature for the interested reader.
