The cathepsin S cysteine proteinase of the burrowing nematode Radopholus similis is essential for the reproduction and invasion. [PDF]

Cell Biosci, 2016
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 ...

Standardized Protocols for Soil Fauna Extraction and a Call for Cross-Lab Implementation. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We present harmonized methodologies, assembled by an international group of experts, for extracting soil‐ and litter‐inhabiting nematodes, enchytraeids, microarthropods, and larger invertebrates. The protocols are illustrated with images and videos, and include advice for overcoming the most frequent issues (’expert tips’) for increasing extraction ...

Exploring the transcriptome of the burrowing nematode Radopholus similis [PDF]

Molecular Genetics and Genomics, 2008
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

Impacts of rodents in piggeries in Australia - review and pilot impact study. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
Rodent impacts in Australian piggeries are under‐researched, with limited data on economic losses and control costs. A review and pilot study found average losses of AUD$100 000 annually. Key concerns include disease, damage, and control expenses.

IN VITRO SCREENING FOR ANTHURIUM TOLERANCE TO BURROWING NEMATODE, RADOPHOLUS SIMILIS [PDF]

HortScience, 1996
Burrowing nematode, Radopholus similis , reduces flower-yield-infected anthurium fields. Genetic resistance is one alternative to chemical control of the disease in anthurium. Seventeen commercial anthurium varieties, established in vitro on anthurium nutrient medium, were inoculated with ...

Control of the banana burrowing nematode using sisal extract [PDF]

Agronomy for Sustainable Development, 2014
The nematode Radopholus similis is a major pest in banana plantations worldwide. This nematode is actually controlled using synthetic, toxic nematicides. Alternative control methods are therefore needed. For instance the liquid by-product of fiber extraction from sisal (Agave sisalana) may be used as a nematicide.

Long‐term cattle grazing shifts the ecological state of forest soils

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Cattle grazing profoundly affects abiotic and biotic characteristics of ecosystems. While most research has been performed on grasslands, the effect of large managed ungulates on forest ecosystems has largely been neglected.

THE BURROWING NEMATODE OF BANANA: STRATEGIES FOR CONTROLLING THE UNCONTROLLABLE

Acta Horticulturae, 2009
The burrowing nematode of banana, Radopholus similis, is difficult, if not impossible, to control effectively. The lack of resistance in commercially acceptable cultivars and the perennial nature of the crop limit management options. Multiplecycle treatment with systemic nematocides is presently the only effective tool available for reducing damage and

Magnetosensitive neurons mediate geomagnetic orientation in Caenorhabditis elegans

eLife, 2015
Many organisms spanning from bacteria to mammals orient to the earth's magnetic field. For a few animals, central neurons responsive to earth-strength magnetic fields have been identified; however, magnetosensory neurons have yet to be identified in any ...
