Immunology of Parasitic Diseases
Immunology of parasitic diseases deals with the understanding of the immune system’s response to parasitic pathogens. This includes studying the mechanisms of immunological protection, immunopathology, and immunomodulation. By studying how the immune system responds to parasites, it is possible to design treatments and preventative measures to combat various parasitic infections. This could include developing vaccines, utilizing drugs and therapeutics, and controlling transmission of parasites. Knowing the immunology of parasitic diseases can help improve the human health by reducing or eliminating the morbidity and mortality caused by these diseases.
