Abstract EN
Schistosomiasis is an important tropical disease affecting approximately 200 million people worldwide.
Because of its chronicity and robust immunomodulatory activity, the effects of schistosomes on other diseases, such as allergies, autoimmunity, and infectious diseases, have been studied extensively in both epidemiological and experimental settings.
In this paper, we summarize the beneficial and harmful effects of schistosomes.
The importance of controlling schistosomiasis is also discussed.
