Abstract:

With the improvement of living hygiene, the helminth infection rate has declined, and people have entered the post-parasite stage. But at the same time, the incidence rate of mite-induced asthma is increasing, which has caused a significant social and economic burden. Increasing evidence showed a correlation between helminth infection and allergy. This article reviews the regulation of helminth and their derived molecules on the occurrence and development of mite-induced asthma, including the direct regulation of antigen-presenting cells, humoral immunity, cellular immunity, release and action of cytokines, and the indirect regulation by regulating intestinal microflora, providing new ideas and directions for the treatment of mites-induced asthma.

Key words: Helminth, Helminth derived molecules, Immune regulation, Mite-allergic asthma
