The burrowing nematode is the most economically important nematode parasite of banana in the world. Infection causes toppling disease of banana, yellows disease of pepper and spreading decline of citrus.

Reproductive Isolation in Rhabditidae (Nematoda: Secernentea); Mechanisms That Isolate Six Species of Three Genera [PDF]
We have attempted interspecific hybridizations among six species of rhabditid nematodes: Caenorhabditis elegans, Caenorhabditis briggsae, Caenorhabditis remanei, Caenorhabditis sp. v, Rhabditis sp., and Pelodera teres. Copulation was observed in all crosses between Caenorhabditis species; however, none resulted in the generation of stable hybrid ...

Morphological and molecular characterisation of the nematode parasite Graphidioides affinis (Secernentea: Trichostrongylidae) in Patagonian maras, Dolichotis patagonum, kept in a zoo in Sofia, Bulgaria. [PDF]
Patagonian maras, rodents endemic to South America, are classified as a near-threatened species. Various factors affect their health including parasitic diseases. The aim of this study was to perform morphometric, molecular and phylogenetic characterisation of one such parasitic disease agent, the nematode Graphidioides affinis, specimens of which were
