As part of the mucosal immune system, the intestine plays a
paramount role in the immune response in all vertebrates. The
mucosal immunity includes inductive and effector tissues, as well
as effector cells and molecules, all of which are part of both
innate and adaptive immunity and their connections. The digestive
tract is the target organ of many parasites. In ectotherms,
intestinal parasites include mainly flagellates, apicomplexans,
myxozoans and helminths. The gut mucosal epithelium acts as a
protective barrier against pathogens. This book presents and
discusses current research in the study of mucosal intestinal
immunity and response to parasite infections in ectothermic
vertebrates.
