Abstract:

Parasitic nematodes cause serious public health problems and significant economic loss in animal husbandry industry.With the help of accurate sensory system,parasitic nematodes are able to avoid dangerous and adapt to the environment.The distinctive sensory behaviors are found to be involved in all kinds of nematodes life activities (e.g.foraging,host seeking,mating,etc.).Here,we summarized the research status and progress of chemosensory behaviors of nematodes.These may help shed light on the development of novel intervention strategies.
