Delayed (Cellular) Hypersensitivity in Parasitic Infections

In this review, the phenomenon of delayed hypersensitivity is characterized briefly, and, based on recent reports, its apparent demonstration in immunity to Trichinella spiralis, Trichostrongylus colubriformis, Ancylostoma caninum, Fasciola hepatica, and Hymenolepis nana is presented.
