Cell mediated immunity during experimental ancylostomiasis: a review
1Department of Zoology, Nagarjuna University, India.
Abstract:
Cell-mediated immunity is usually recognized only in a very small number of infections caused by helminths. The present review is engaged with some aspects of the cell-mediated immunity in infections caused by Ancylostoma caninum. Special attention is paid to the role of passive transfer of sensitized cells and serum. The paper is based on a series of own original investigations of the authors.

Overview
Amebiasis
Entamoeba histolytica, a protozoan parasite, is responsible for intestinal and extraintestinal amebiasis. Though a significant proportion of infections remain asymptomatic, approximately 50 million individuals annually are estimated to present with clinical disease, resulting in up to 100,000 deaths globally. The disease burden is disproportionately high in regions with lower socioeconomic status, such as parts of India, Africa, Mexico, and Latin America.Etiology and TransmissionThe infective...
