Abstract EN
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a cytokine that plays a central role in immune and inflammatory responses.
In the present paper, we discussed the participation of MIF in the immune response to protozoan parasite infections.
As a general trend, MIF participates in the control of parasite burden at the expense of promoting tissue damage due to increased inflammation.
