IL25 and helminthiasis: IL-17E (also called IL-25) is associated with type 2 T helper cell (Th2) response, promoting Th2-related cytokine production for eosinophil recruitment and contributing to host defense against parasitic helminth infections (Pan et al., 2001; Ballantyne et al., 2007; Saenz et al., 2008; Kang et al., 2012).
