Oxygen and Redox Reactions Contribute to the Protection of Free-Living and Parasite Helminths against Pathogens and/or Host Response

Abstract: Millions of years ago, the reductive atmosphere environment of Earth was replaced by an oxidative one because of redox reactions. These conditions allowed aerobic organisms to populate the planet and control the toxicity of oxygen. Aerobic organisms began to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) via oxygen redox reactions and used them for their physiology process. Free-living helminths appeared in the early Paleozoic era and parasite helminths in the late same era. Free-living helminths, such as Caenorhabditi… Show more

“…Many diseases, as well as parasitic infections, are accompanied by the generation of reactive oxidative species as a result of oxidative stress [ 23 , 24 , 25 ]. In addition, the pathogenesis of the oxidative stress reaction seen in the host tissues is influenced by the free radicals produced due to parasite infections [ 26 ]. It is indirect, but reliable, to estimate free radical activity and oxidative stress reaction by measuring antioxidant enzyme activities and endogenous antioxidants in blood [ 25 ].…”

“…This is due to the fact that the fluid found within the cysts helps us to understand how hydatid cysts form within the body. Understanding the oxidative stress reaction response will help with control measures and reduce the likelihood of disease transmission [ 26 , 40 ].…”
