On the one hand, a parasitic worm is a danger that must be addressed. However, the eradication of worms proved to create change in the pattern of disease in the modern society.
During this time, the increasing diseases 'modern' as type 2 diabetes, allergies and asthma are only associated with lifestyle. Rarely play ground for example, make a worm exposure decreases but increases the risk of diabetes because it usually becomes less mobile.
Research has shown that changes in the pattern of the disease is directly related to parasitic worm infections. The human immune system for millions of years has been adapted to function optimally if there is exposure to parasitic worms.
Prof. Taniawati Supali, parasitology expert from the Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia (Faculty) said that after confirmed as a professor at the college, Saturday (12/20/2014).
"I said worms are like two sides of a coin. One side is dangerous and should be eradicated, but on the other hand has benefits for the immune system," says Prof. Taniawati, met after the inauguration ceremony.
The study, conducted by Prof. Taniawati based on the hygiene hypothesis, which says that the reduced exposure to infections in childhood contribute to the increased prevalence of allergies and asthma. But of course, does not mean parasitic worms should not be eradicated.
"Before the worm runs eradicated, we must learn how they affect the immune system," says Prof. Taniawati.
Simply put, people can learn from worms on pressing modern diseases, particularly type 2 diabetes, asthma, and allergies. It is not possible, a panacea when it appears inspired by parasitic worms to overcome these diseases.
"Not the worm, but the specific molecules in it. It still took a lot of research, but yes it may be," says Prof. Maria Yazdanbakhsh, parasitology experts from Leiden University Netherlands, which at the same occasion awarded the title of Adjunct Professor of the Faculty of Medicine.
