| Abstract | ||
| Trichinella spiralis infection is capable of manipulating the human immunological system through modulation of cells and molecules of the host`s immune system. There are different mechanisms of T. spiralis for changing the balance of immunological response to be benefit for the parasite and host. Moreover, there is similarity in-between the response of infected muscle cells at early stage of infection and muscle regeneration. As a result, T. spiralis may have therapeutic effects in many autoimmune and degenerative diseases. | ||
