title: [Research advances in interplay of host immune mechanism and Echinococcus multilocularis metacestodes].
abstract: Through affecting on host innate and acquired immune responses, Echinococcus multilocularis orchestrates various interplays that are beneficial not only to facilitate its intrahepatic proliferation and maturation during life cycle, but also to limit pathological process in its intermediate host. This review reveals the role of the metacestode's immune-related molecules in modulating host responses and optimizing its own survival.
