Eosinophils are important for protection, immunoregulation and pathology during infection with nematode microfilariae.
Eosinophil responses typify both allergic and parasitic helminth disease. In helminthic disease, the role of eosinophils can be both protective in immune responses and destructive in pathological responses. To investigate whether eosinophils are involved in both protection and pathology during filar...
