Abstract: Peroxiredoxin （Prx） belongs to a peroxidase family of antioxidant enzymes distributed ubiquitously in aerobic organisms. It plays an important role in the defense of reactive oxygen species （ROS） and reactive nitrogen species （RNS） produced by parasite itself and the host immune cells. The classification, mechanism of Prx and the research progress on Prx in parasitic helminthes including trematode, cestode and nematode have been briefly reviewed in this article.

Key words: Parasitic helminth, Peroxiredoxin, Reactive oxygen species, Reactive nitrogen species
