Chemotaxis can take plant-parasitic nematodes to the source of a chemo-attractant via the shortest possible routes

It has long been recognized that chemotaxis is the primary means by which nematodes locate host plants. Nonetheless, chemotaxis has received scant attention. We show that chemotaxis is predicted to take nematodes to a source of a chemo-attractant via the shortest possible routes through the labyrint...
