Serotonin stimulates Echinococcus multilocularis larval development [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2021 AbstractBackgroundSerotonin is a phylogenetically ancient molecule that is widely distributed in most metazoans, including flatworms. In addition to its role as a neurotransmitter, serotonin acts as a morphogen and regulates developmental processes. Although several studies have focused on the serotonergic nervous system in parasitic flatworms, little ...
