Althougb the immune system is becoming better characterized, it is by no means becoming easier to predict the outcome of activation given the many potential influences upon the ultimate expression of an immune response. ln this article, Nicky Schweitzer and Roy Anderson investigate the application of mathematics to this highly nonlinear system, and show how it can complement experimentation from both a predictive and interpretative point of view.

Helminths are parasitic animals that have evolved over 100,000,000 years to live in the intestinal track or other locations of their hosts. Colonization of humans with these organisms was nearly universal until the early 20th century. More than 1,000,000,000 people in less developed countries carry
