Research project funded by NIAID to study temperature effects on parasitic nematodes' behavior and physiology to develop new anti-parasitic strategies.
Description
This project aims to investigate how temperature cues influence the behavioral and physiological responses of parasitic nematodes, particularly focusing on Strongyloides stercoralis, to understand their thermal adaptability and develop novel interventions.
