From dbarile from ucdavis.edu Tue Feb 3 13:39:41 2009 From: dbarile from ucdavis.edu (daniela barile) Date: Tue Feb 3 14:40:34 2009 Subject: [Immunology] INSECTS AND HOST IMMUNE SYSTEM Message-ID: <8dc414940902031039i17cc363fy845fd654304e416b@mail.gmail.com> I am fascinated by the theory that endemic helminthoses activate the Th2 system in the host, particularly at mucosal surfaces, to provide a different level of immunological homeostasis. I was wondering if anyone had information/thoughts about insects. Do insects have the same ability? Are accidentally ingested insects (e.g. fly larvae in cured meats) able to induce immunological modification in the host? Thank you very much to who will answer my question.
