Integrated management of banana nematodes: Lessons from a case study in the French West Indies [PDF]
Plant-parasitic nematodes are tiny worms that live in soils and roots; in the case of banana plants, they spend most of their life cycle in root and corm tissues. Their proliferation mainly disrupts nutrient and water uptake, delays growth, and may cause

Wolbachia in Antarctic terrestrial invertebrates: Absent or undiscovered?
Endosymbiotic bacteria Wolbachia are recognized for their role in influencing host survival and stress resistance, particularly in cold environmental conditions across various species. However, our analysis of available data reveals a notable absence of Wolbachia in species abundant in the extreme cold conditions of Antarctica.

Papaya seed extract for management of Radopholus similis on Anthurium
Anthurium cut flowers are an economically important ornamental crop in Hawai’i, but their production is threatened by the burrowing nematode, Radopholus similis, which reduces yield and increases production costs.

Etude de la sensibilité des cultivars de bananier plantain à Radopholus similis (Cobb) Thorne (nématode) et essais de protection aux formulations de graines de neem (Azadiracta indica A. Juss) [PDF]
Les plantains font partie des produits vivriers qui assurent la sécurité alimentaire au Cameroun. Cependant, les rendements de production demeurent faibles à cause de nombreuses contraintes parasitaires, dues notamment à Radopholus similis, nématode qui ...

Another tool in the toolbox: Aphid‐specific Wolbachia protect against fungal pathogens
Wolbachia infected more than 80% of Pentalonia aphids sampled across the Hawaiian Islands and other locations. The aphid‐specific M‐supergroup strains of this symbiont protected against a specialist fungal pathogen, Pandora, but not the generalist pathogen Beauveria or the parasitoid Aphidius colemanii.

Biochemical and nanotechnological approaches to combat phytoparasitic nematodes
Summary The foundation of most food production systems underpinning global food security is the careful management of soil resources. Embedded in the concept of soil health is the impact of diverse soil‐borne pests and pathogens, and phytoparasitic nematodes represent a particular challenge.
