A novel member of the let-7 microRNA family is associated with developmental transitions in filarial nematode parasites [PDF]
Background: Filarial nematodes are important pathogens in the tropics transmitted to humans via the bite of blood sucking arthropod vectors. The molecular mechanisms underpinning survival and differentiation of these parasites following transmission are ...

Dispersion of nematodes (Rhabditida) in the guts of slugs and snails
A survey was carried out to find non-parasitic nematodes associated with slugs and snails in order to elucidate the initial phase of endophoresis and necromeny in gastropods.

Isolamento e valutazione degli effetti di microrganismi entomopatogeni nei confronti di insetti di interesse agrario, forestale e medico-veterinario [PDF]
The insecticidal potential of various entomopathogenic bacteria was evaluated by ingestion and/or injection bioassays against noxious insects including Musca domestica, Ceratitis capitata, Lymantria dispar, and Malacosoma neustria.

Slug herbivory is an important but poorly explored driver of plant defence and belowground multitrophic interactions. This study examined how aboveground feeding by Arion vulgaris and Deroceras reticulatum affects oxidative status, photosynthetic ...

Chemotactic Responses of Slug-Parasitic Nematodes to Potato-Tuber-Emitted Volatile Organic Compounds
Parasitic nematodes play a vital role in soil ecosystems, contributing to natural pest suppression. Among them, slug-parasitic species such as Phasmarhabditis papillosa (Schneider) Andrassy, Oscheius myriophilus (Poinar), and Oscheius onirici Torrini et ...

Newly Identified Nematodes from Mono Lake Exhibit Extreme Arsenic Resistance [PDF]
Extremophiles have much to reveal about the biology of resilience, yet their study is limited by sampling and culturing difficulties [1, 2, 3]. The broad success and small size of nematodes make them advantageous for tackling these problems [4, 5, 6]. We

Penetration and infectivity of entomopathogenic nematodes against Lema sp. (Chrysomelidae: Coleoptera) infesting turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) and their multiplication [PDF]
Penetration and infectivity of eight native isolates of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs), Heterorhabditis sp. (IISR-EPN 01); Steinernema sp. (IISR-EPN 02); S. ramanai (IISR-EPN 03); S.

Combined field inoculations of pseudomonas bacteria, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, and entomopathogenic nematodes and their effects on wheat performance [PDF]
In agricultural ecosystems, pest insects, pathogens, and reduced soil fertility pose major challenges to crop productivity and are responsible for significant yield losses worldwide.

PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIPS OF ENTOMOPATHOGENIC NEMATODES AND THEIR BACTERIAL SYMBIONTS FROM COASTAL AREAS IN LEBANON [PDF]
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are parasites of soil-dwelling insects that occur in natural and agricultural soils around the world. The current study focuses on the unexplored coastal zone of Lebanon where soil samples were taken in different sites ...
