Abstract:
Skin-penetrating nematodes such as Strongyloides stercoralis depend on a suite of chemosensory cues to find their host. Banerjee et al. uncovered life-stage-specific behavioral preferences for CO2 in S. stercoralis and revealed its distinct influence on navigation behaviors during the complex life cycle in this species.
