Entomopathogenic nematode-gastropod interactions [PDF]
Journal of Nematology, 2021 Abstract Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) infect and kill insects and have been successfully used in the biological control of some insect pests. Slugs and snails are known to be significant pests of agriculture and serve as vectors for disease-causing microbes that can affect crops and humans.

Non-lethal effects of entomopathogenic nematode infection [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Entomopathogenic nematodes are typically considered lethal parasites of insect hosts. Indeed they are employed as such for biological control of insect pests.

New insights into the evolution of subtilisin-like serine protease genes in Pezizomycotina [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010 Background Subtilisin-like serine proteases play an important role in pathogenic fungi during the penetration and colonization of their hosts. In this study, we perform an evolutionary analysis of the subtilisin-like serine protease genes of subphylum ...

Entomopathogenic nematodes [PDF]
Current Biology, 2012 What are entomopathogenic nematodes? Nematodes seem to have evolved to occupy nearly every niche imaginable, including a wide diversity of parasitic niches. Among the vast variety of parasitic nematodes, some have evolved an association with insect-pathogenic bacteria. Together the bacteria and nematode are a lethal duo.

Risk taking of educated nematodes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Nematode parasites rely on successful host infection to perpetuate their species. Infection by individual nematode parasites can be risky, however; any one individual could be killed by the host's immune response.

Antibiotics, 2023 Anti-microbial peptides provide a powerful toolkit for combating multidrug resistance. Combating eukaryotic pathogens is complicated because the intracellular drug targets in the eukaryotic pathogen are frequently homologs of cellular structures of vital
