Immunomodulation

Parasites (a term etymologically referring to those that feed off others) are organisms that, in order to survive, live inside or outside another being (the host) either temporarily or permanently, almost always to the host’s detriment; however, they can also have positive effects on their hosts by interacting, in their various evolutionary forms (including their molecules), with diverse mechanisms in both human and non-human animals, in a symbiotic relationship for mutual benefit [1, 2].
