Macrophage Response to Parasitic Infections and SARS-CoV-2

This chapter explores the complex relationship between parasitic infections, macrophage response, and SARS-CoV-2 infection. It discusses the impact of repeated infections, the role of dendritic cells and macrophages in T cell response, the use of liposomes to target and eliminate macrophages, the specificity of alveolar macrophages in helmet infection, antibody-dependent phagocytosis in coronavirus infections, the susceptibility of individuals with asthma to COVID-19, and the concept of trained immunity in macrophages.
