Parasite Immunity

Parasite immunity is a natural phenomenon in which animals and plants can defend themselves from invasion by parasites. It is generally accomplished by recognizing them and then responding in an appropriate manner. Parasite immunity is an important mechanism in maintaining health in many species, as it helps protect organisms from parasites that cause disease and death. Parasite immunity also allow hosts to survive encounters with parasites that are more virulent than those they have already encountered. It is also beneficial for reducing damage to crops caused by parasites, as well as for animal production practices. As such, it has significant implications for agricultural and animal health.
