In response to the undoing of FCapra's edit, I believe FCapra is right. The article is about 'counterexamples'. The example in question merely argues that there is a lack of evidence; a counterexample must be actual evidence that contradicts the proposition, not simply a lack of evidence for it.

== Trichinella spiralis ==
I will once again remove this 'counterexample' as the person who inserted it appears to have misunderstood the referenced article. Trichinella spiralis actually suppresses the immune response of its host under normal conditions. The immuno-suppression is only broken down when Trichinella spiralis happens to associate with other nurse-cell forming species of Trichinella, ''and'' when the host is then repeatedly exposed to infective L1 larvae via the oral route. These are very specific conditions and more to the point are not a normal part of Trichinella spiralis' life cycle; it involves interaction with other species.
