Skin-penetrating nematodes exhibit life-stage-specific interactions with host-associated and environmental bacteria
7 Oct 2021
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Skin-penetrating nematodes of the genus Strongyloides infect over 600 million people, posing a major global health burden. Their life cycle includes both a parasitic and free-living generation. During the parasitic generation, infective third-stage larvae (iL3s) actively engage in host seeking. During the free-living generation, the nematodes develop and reproduce on host feces. At different points...
