Sex-specific effects of a parasite evolving in a female-biased host population

open access: yesBMC Biology, 2012
Background Males and females differ in many ways and might present different opportunities and challenges to their parasites. In the same way that parasites adapt to the most common host type, they may adapt to the characteristics of the host sex they ...

Meloidogyne incognita Fatty Acid- and Retinol- Binding Protein (Mi-FAR-1) Affects Nematode Infection of Plant Roots and the Attachment of Pasteuria penetrans Endospores

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Root-knot nematode (RKN) Meloidogyne incognita is an economically important pest of crops. Pasteuria penetrans, is a nematode hyperparasitic bacterium capable of suppressing the reproduction of RKN and thereby useful for its management.

Successfully resisting a pathogen is rarely costly in Daphnia magna

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010
Background A central hypothesis in the evolutionary ecology of parasitism is that trade-offs exist between resistance to parasites and other fitness components such as fecundity, growth, survival, and predator avoidance, or resistance to other parasites.

Extraction and Purification of Pasteuria spp. Endospores.

open access: yesJournal of nematology, 2011
Pasteuria penetrans is an endospore-forming bacterial parasite of root-knot nematodes that has potential as a biological control agent. Biochemical investigations of P. penetrans are limited because of difficulty in obtaining large quantities of endospores free of plant debris and contaminating microorganisms.

Influence of Heterodera glycines Virulence Phenotypes on the Performance of Nematode-Protectant Seed Treatments

open access: yesJournal of Nematology
Soybean cyst nematode (SCN; Heterodera glycines) is a major pathogen of soybean (Glycine max) in North America. Although nematodeprotectant seed treatments can complement SCN-resistant soybean varieties in managing this pathogen, their efficacy across ...

Biocontrol potential of Pasteuria penetrans, Pochonia chlamydosporia, Paecilomyces lilacinus and Trichoderma harzianum against Meloidogyne incognita in

open access: yesPhytopathologia Mediterranea, 2012
The root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita, is a sedentary endoparasitic plant pathogen with a very wide host range, which causes annual crop losses amounting to millions of dollars.

Genetic Variability among Different Populations of Root Knot Nematodes Based on Their Encumbrance Response to Pasteuria Isolates Using PCR-RFLP

open access: yesThe Plant Pathology Journal, 2019
A great variable response was observed when PP-3 and PP-J encumbered with 116 populations of root knot nematode (RKN) at two different temperatures (25 ± 2°C and 30 ± 2°C) and concentrations (104 and 105 spores/ml).
