It’s not surprising that vegetarians are sometimes inconsistent in what they consider permissible, but it is surprising that meat-eaters, who seem to regard vegetarianism as some sort of personal affront, delight in picking apart the various and sundry working definitions used by vegetarians.

Investigation of what has been perceived as food historically and how this changes over time with focus on insects suggests the terms entomophobic (insect despising) and entomophilic ( insect loving) to describe the eating behavior of societies.

The induction of interleukin-10 by ABF suggests that T regulatory cells may play a role in immunomodulation of immune responses by parasitic helminths, and shows that the Immunomodulatory activities of ABF are associated with components other than the major constituent and putative allergen, ABA-1.

The backwater clam Meretrix casta (Chemintz) from Malpe, on the west coast of India was found to be infested with a species of the pea-crab and a careful study of the infected clams indicated definite damages caused by the crab to the gills, mantle, gonad and digestive gland of the host indicating a clear case of parasitism.

Interest both in helminths and IBD has led to development of a new hypothesis suggesting that lack of helminthic exposure increases the risk for acquiring some immunological diseases, and other experimental data from both human and animal research provide substantial support for this hypothesis.
