Resolving the infection process reveals striking differences in the contribution of environment, genetics and phylogeny to host-parasite interactions [PDF]
Background Infection processes consist of a sequence of steps, each critical for the interaction between host and parasite. Studies of host-parasite interactions rarely take into account the fact that different steps might be influenced by different ...

Aspects on the attachment of Pasteuria penetrans on root-knot nematodes
Variability in spore attachment of the bacterial parasite Pasteuria penetrans to second stage juveniles of Meloidogyne javanica and M. incognita populations originating from different locations were recorded.

Unveiling the Host-range Distribution of Pasteuria penetrans Against Various Root-knot Nematode, Meloidogyne spp [PDF]
Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) are economically significantplant parasites causing extensive damage to various crops globally. Theirsedentary endoparasitic nature, facilitated by a stylet, induces the formationof giant cells in plant roots ...

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

Quantifying the economic cost of invertebrate pests to New Zealand’s pastoral industry
ABSTRACT The invertebrate pests most commonly affecting New Zealand’s pastoral‐based production in ‘average’ years cause losses of between $1.7B and $2.3B p.a. of which up to $0.9B occur on sheep and beef farms and $1.4B on dairy farms. The native scarab grass grub is the most costly pest causing losses of $140–380 M on dairy farms and $75–205 M on ...

Endospore heterogeneity in Pasteuria penetrans related to adhesion to plant-parasitic nematodes
Hybridoma cell lines were screened by indirect immunofluorescence for the secretion of monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) to the surface of a population of endospores of the obligate nematode hyperparasite Pasteuria penetrans.

A mathematic model for the interaction between Meloidogyne spp. and Pasteuria penetrans [PDF]
Some aspects of Meloidogyne spp. (root-knot nematode) growth regulation by the gramnegative bacterium Pasteuria penetrans were reviewed. The study allowed the construction of a mathematical model to predict the dynamics of both organisms.

Coastal sand dunes are hips and strips formed by sand particles which are eroded and ground rock, derived from terrestrial and oceanic sources. This is considered as a specialized ecosystem characterized by conditions which are hostile for life forms like high salt, low moisture, and low organic matter content.
