Host invasion and tissue migration of several helminths have been linked to the expression and release of parasite-derived proteases. One of the most remarkable examples of tissue migration is that of larvae of the nematode parasite Strongyloides stercoralis, which can move through tissue at speeds
BACKGROUND
Strongyloidiasis is one of the most neglected diseases distributed worldwide with endemic areas in developed countries, where chronic infections are life threatening. Despite its impact, very little is known about the molecular biology of the parasite involved and its interplay with its
Nematodes represent the second largest phylum in the animal kingdom. It is the most abundant species (500,000) in the planet. It causes chronic, debilitating infections worldwide such as ascariasis, trichuriasis, hookworm, enterobiasis, strongyloidiasis, filariasis and trichinosis, among others.
