The neural basis of temperature-driven host seeking in the human threadworm <i>Strongyloides stercoralis</i>
2021-06-23
Abstract excerpt
Soil-transmitted parasitic nematodes infect approximately one billion people and are a major cause of morbidity worldwide 1–8 . The infective larvae (iL3s) of these parasites actively search for hosts in a poorly understood, sensory-driven process that requires thermal cues 9,10 . Here, we describe the neural basis of temperature-driven host seeking in parasitic nematodes using the human threadworm Strongyloide...
