Eicosanoid production by parasites: from pathogenesis to immunomodulation?

A Belley et al. Parasitol Today. 1995 Sep.

Abstract

In this review, Adam Belley and Kris Chadee discuss eicosanoid production by various parasites and propose roles they may play in pathogenesis and immunomodulation. The commonality between parasites is prostaglandin production and, therefore, special attention is given to the cyclooxygenase pathway, highlighting the enzymes and functions of prostaglandins.
