TRICHINELLA SPIRALIS AS A POTENTIAL THERAPEUTIC AGENT: FROM A RISKY DISEASE TO A FRIEND

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.
