Abstract :

This article focuses on the clever tactics parasites employ to evade their host's immune system and cause an infection. Essentially, a parasite is an organism that relies on another organism—the host—for its food and survival needs. Medical parasitology specifically covers protozoa, helminths, and certain types of arthropods. When parasitic diseases strike, they trigger immune responses in the host aimed at getting rid of the invaders. However, parasites have also developed a range of effective strategies to fend off these immune attacks and manage to thrive within the host. This article compiles all available information on how parasites manage to avoid being targeted by the host's complement immune system, even in challenging conditions, and explains the mechanisms behind this immune evasion.
