Sedimentary ancient DNA study revealed 138 years of hidden microsporidian (unicellular eukaryotic parasite) diversity and host–parasite dynamics in a freshwater lake. A major community shift in the 2000s, linked to anthropogenic pressures, shows how paleogenomics reveals the diversity and long‐term ecological trajectories of these previously overlooked

Di‐2‐ethylhexylphthalate May Be a Natural Product, Rather than a Pollutant
Di‐2‐ethylhexylphtalate is an ester of phthalic acid that has been used as plasticizer in many materials. Due to the extended use, it has been persistently found in different environments being classified as a pollutant with some risks for human health.

Out of 136 identified EPNs, only 18 (8 Steinernema and 6 Heterorhabditis) are commercialised globally, highlighting a major gap between discovery and application. High production costs and inconsistent field efficacy are the leading obstacles to the widespread commercialisation of EPN‐based biocontrol products.

Nematode Parasites and Associates of Ants: Past and Present
Ants can serve as developmental, definitive, intermediate, or carrier hosts of a variety of nematodes. Parasitic ant nematodes include members of the families Mermithidae, Tetradonematidae, Allantonematidae, Seuratidae, Physalopteridae, Steinernematidae, and Heterorhabditidae.

All metazoans are exposed to a wide range of microbes and have evolved complex immune defenses used to repel infectious agents. Coelomocytes play a key role in the defense reactions of most invertebrates. They are involved in important immune functions, such as phagocytosis, encapsulation, graft rejection, and inflammation, as well as the synthesis and

A new species, Oscheius microvilli n. sp., was found on Chongming Island (Shanghai, China). The new species is morphologically similar to the type strain of Oscheius myriophilus, but can be distinguished from it and other species of Oscheius on the basis

Isolation and Identification of Nematode‐Infecting Microsporidia
Abstract Nematodes are naturally infected by the fungal‐related pathogen microsporidia. These ubiquitous eukaryotic parasites are poorly understood, despite infecting most types of animals. Identifying novel species of microsporidia and studying them in an animal model can expedite our understanding of their infection biology and evolution.
