Figure 1

A schematic diagram showing the generalized pattern of schistosome migration through the skin, and the possible mechanisms of immunoregulation that might operate in this tissue. Full details of the regulatory mediators released by both the parasite and the host are given in the main text of the review, as are descriptions of the possible mechanisms of immune regulation and identities of probable ligands. The diagram encompasses data obtained from studies of different Schistosoma and Trichobilarzia species with specific references given in the main text.
