Neuronally sensed oxygen drives behavior and development in human-infective, skin-penetrating nematodes

2026-05-01

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Parasitic nematodes infect over a billion people worldwide and cause some of the most prevalent neglected tropical diseases 1-5 . Many of these parasites are skin penetrating and have both extra-host life stages that inhabit host feces and surrounding soil, and intra-host life stages that inhabit host niches such as skin, vasculature, and intestine 2,6-8 . Across life stages, these parasites e...
