This chapter explores the immunomodulatory effects of nematode infections which protect the host against autoimmune and allergic diseases. Included are discussions on specific nematode molecules (i.e., Ascaris suum PAS-1, cystatins, Dirofilaria immitis-derived antigen (DiAg), galectin-9 homologue of Toxascaris leonina (Tl-GAL), ES-62) that exert immunomodulatory properties in animal studies and their probable mechanisms of action.
