Making sense of sensory behaviors in vector-borne helminths
NJ Wheeler, EA Hallem, M Zamanian - Trends in parasitology, 2022 - cell.com
Migrations performed by helminths are impressive and diverse, and accumulating evidence
shows that many are controlled by sophisticated sensory programs. The migrations of vector …

Schistosoma transmission: scaling-up competence from hosts to ecosystems
Abstract In a One-Health context, it is urgent to establish the links between environmental
degradation, biodiversity loss, and the circulation of pathogens. Here we review and literally …

ME Scott - Journal of Helminthology, 2023 - cambridge.org
In 1978, the theory behind helminth parasites having the potential to regulate the
abundance of their host populations was formalized based on the understanding that those …
