Abstract:

Schistosoma sp. is a parasite infect in mammals including humans. During co-evolution of host and schistosomes, the parasite have developed mechanisms that manipulate the host innate and adaptive immunity to create a microenviroments that benefi its survival. Recently, the pharmacological effects of schistosome infection and relevant molecules in the management of allergy, autoimmune and metabolic diseases has attracted great attention. This article reviews the modulatory role and underlying mechanisms of schistosomes and their derivatives in immune dysregulatory diseases, to provide a basis for subsequent laboratory and clinical investigations.

Key words: Schistosome, Derivatives, Immunoregulation, Immune dysregulatory diseases
