Exploring the transcriptome of the burrowing nematode Radopholus similis [PDF]
Radopholus similis is an important nematode pest on fruit crops in the tropics. Unraveling the transcriptome of this migratory plant-parasitic nematode can provide insight in the parasitism process and lead to more efficient control measures. For the first high throughput molecular characterization of this devastating nematode, 5,853 expressed sequence

Papaya seed extract for management of Radopholus similis on Anthurium [PDF]
Anthurium cut flowers are an economically important ornamental crop in Hawai’i, but their production is threatened by the burrowing nematode, Radopholus similis, which reduces yield and increases production costs.

The cathepsin S cysteine proteinase of the burrowing nematode Radopholus similis is essential for the reproduction and invasion. [PDF]
The nematode Radopholus similis is an important migratory endoparasite of plants. Cysteine proteinases such as cathepsin S (CPS) play key roles during embryonic development, invasion, and pathogenesis in nematodes and many other animal parasites. This study was designed to investigate the molecular characterization and functions of a cathepsin S ...

Molecular identification and functional characterization of the fatty acid- and retinoid-binding protein gene Rs-far-1 in the burrowing nematode Radopholus similis (Tylenchida: Pratylenchidae). [PDF]
Fatty acid- and retinoid-binding protein (FAR) is a nematode-specific protein expressed in the nematode hypodermis. It is involved in nematode development, reproduction, and infection and can disrupt the plant defense reaction. In this study, we obtained

Abstract The burrowing nematode Radopholus similis is among the most damaging pathogens. Resistant plants are one of the most promising approaches for nematode control, and knowledge of resistance and aggressiveness components is essential to understand resistance genetics and developing new cultivars.

Study on burrowing nematode, Radopholus similis, pathogenicity test system in tobacco as host
Radopholus similis (Cobb 1893) Thorne (1949) is a destructive migratory endoparasitic plant nematode. In this study, the pathogenic process of R. similis infection in Nicotiana benthamiana (tobacco) was studied using quartz sand culture in laboratory ...

Strongyloides species exhibit distinct behaviors on the skin of different mammals [PDF]
Background Skin-penetrating nematodes, including the human parasite Strongyloides stercoralis and the rat parasite Strongyloides ratti, are gastrointestinal parasites that infect when infective third-stage larvae (iL3s) invade host skin.
