Research Abstract |
Although human body has an immune system which recognizes and rejects foreign pathogens, intestinal parasites establish in the gut for a long time; i.e. chronic infections. The mechanism of the infection was examined by mice model. Results suggested that the mouse immune response was suppressed at the very early phase of the infection. Parasite derived substances, such as excretory-secretory products, were thought to cause the suppression, however, the analysis is still in process.
