Abstract:
Helminth infection can lead to organic,digestive and other tissue's pathological damage.Helminth diseases are harmful to human and animal health,and can cause reproductive failure,inhibits the growth and development of juvenile ani-mals,even lead to death of humans and animals in serious cases,and poses significant impacts on public health and causes eco-nomic losses to the animal husbandry.Currently,the prevention and control of helminth disease is largely dependent on inte-grated control measures including the use of drugs.Due to drug residues,drug resistance,and other issues,the development of new drugs and vaccines is imminent.So far,there is few ideal vaccines to control helminth diseases,which is due to that hel-minths have evolved mechanisms to evade host immune attacks during evolution,such as immune isolation,antigen variation, molecular simulation and so on.Therefore,this review describes the recent research advances in the immune evasion strategies of parasitic helminth,which aims to provide a reference for the development of new vaccines or drugs for better prevention and control of helminth diseases.
