Plant Root-Exudates Recruit Hyperparasitic Bacteria of Phytonematodes by Altered Cuticle Aging: Implications for Biological Control Strategies

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Phytonematodes are globally important functional components of the belowground ecology in both natural and agricultural soils; they are a diverse group of which some species are economically important pests, and environmentally benign control strategies ...

The parasites of my rival are my friends

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
The competitive exclusion principle asserts that two species cannot stably coexist in the same habitat. However, the presence of a parasite can facilitate temporary coexistence between two host species occupying the same habitat.

Survey of Pasteuria, the parasitic bacterial group to plant parasitic nematodes in Turkey

Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control, 2020
The present study was carried out in the agricultural areas of Northwestern Turkey with the purpose to assess the occurrence of Pasteuria spp. bacteria on plant-parasitic nematodes. The soil samples were collected from olive, cherry, peach, pear, almond,

Maternal Stress Reduces the Susceptibility of Root-Knot Nematodes to Pasteuria Penetrans

Journal of Nematology, 2019
Pasteuria penetrans is an obligate parasite of root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.). Endospores of P. penetrans attach to the cuticle of second-stage juveniles (J2) and complete their life cycle within the nematode female body. Infected females will be

Biological Control of Root-Knot Nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.): Microbes against the Pests

Acta Agriculturae Slovenica, 2013
Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) are important pests of many cultivated plants. Recently, the most efficient chemical control products (e.g. methyl bromide) have now been restricted due to their toxic characteristics.

Pasteuria sp. Parasitizing Trophonema okamotoi in Florida.

Journal of nematology, 2011
Two populations of Trophonema okamotoi parasitized by Pasteuria sp. were found on Liquidambar styraciflua (sweetgum) and on an unidentified tropical grass in north-central Florida. Endospores of this Pasteuria sp. attached to motile vermiform second-stage juveniles (J2) and males of T. okamotoi, but not to other developmental stages.

Update of the list of qualified presumption of safety (QPS) recommended microbiological agents intentionally added to food or feed as notified to EFSA 23: Suitability of taxonomic units notified to EFSA until September 2025

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) process was developed to provide a harmonised safety assessment approach to support EFSA Scientific Panels and Units. The QPS approach assesses the taxonomic identity, body of relevant knowledge and safety of microorganisms intentionally added to the food and feed chain.

Chemical and biological controls and soil amendments for plant‐parasitic nematode management

New Plant Protection, Volume 2, Issue 4, December 2025.
This review synthesizes sustainable strategies for managing plant‐parasitic nematodes, emphasizing eco‐friendly biocontrol agents and soil amendments. It critically evaluates the impacts of chemical nematicides on nontarget soil organisms and advocates integrated approaches to enhance soil health, crop productivity, and agricultural sustainability ...

How do parasites and predators choose their victim? A trade‐off between quality and vulnerability across antagonistic interactions

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 2099-2115, October 2025.
ABSTRACT From blood‐sucking lice and food‐stealing gulls to pandemic‐inducing viruses and egg‐eating snakes: parasites and predators are ubiquitous in shaping ecology and evolution. Fundamental to these interactions is the way in which parasites and predators choose their victim. Here, I argue that a trade‐off between host quality and vulnerability can

External and internal microbiomes of Antarctic nematodes are distinct, but more similar to each other than the surrounding environment

Journal of Nematology, 2023
Host-associated microbiomes have primarily been examined in the context of their internal microbial communities, but many animal species also contain microorganisms on external host surfaces that are important to host physiology.
