Inherent biomechanical traits enable infective filariae to disseminate through collecting lymphatic vessels
Stimuli affecting migration of filaria in host tissues are unclear. Using in situ imaging, Kilarski et al. here show that universal adaptations of nematodes allow Litomosoides sigmodontis infective larvae to mechanically break into pre-collecting lymphatics and follow the direction of flow towards t...
