Echinococcosis Immune Response, Immunopathogenesis and Immune Evasion from the Human Host

Echinococcosis is a worldwide parasitic disease with great harm and complicated immune mechanisms. Immunoprophylaxis is an ideal way to prevent Echinococcosis in the future. Echinococcosis is an exogenous substance with antigenicity. After infection, it can induce the host to produce an immune response and undergo a series of cellular and molecular changes. In this chapter, we will have a broad overview of innate immunity, adaptive immunity, immune evasion, and host-Echinococcosis interactions resulting from Echinococcosis infection.
