Ascarosides coordinate the dispersal of a plant-parasitic nematode with the metamorphosis of its vector beetle
Insect vectors are required for the transmission of many species of parasitic nematodes, but the mechanisms by which the vectors and nematodes coordinate their life cycles are poorly understood. Here, we report that ascarosides, an evolutionarily conserved family of nematode pheromones, are produced...
