Zoo‐and phyto‐parasitic nematodes of the order Rhabditida and zooparasites of the
subclass Dorylaimia are well known, due largely to their medical, veterinarian and …

We report the first mermithid nematode found to be parasitic in a marine tanaidacean
crustacean. Ten host tanaidaceans were collected from a depth of 52 m in Otsuchi Bay …

Benthimermithid nematodes are parasites of invertebrates currently classified within their
own order. Relationships between the Benthimermithida and other nematode orders …

A new species of Trophomera Rubtzov & Platonova, 1974 is described from the
chemosymbiotic bivalves Idas modiolaeformis and Lucinoma kazani collected at Amon mud …

The placement of the rare deep-sea nematode order Rhaptothyreida remains unclear due to
the unique morphology of this group, an unknown life cycle with morphologically distinct …

Parasitic nematodes have evolved to exploit a wide variety of hosts living in a range of
marine environments. Benthimermithid nematodes occur deeper than any other nematode …

Nematodes parasitize at the juvenile stage in different invertebrates, but adult nematodes
are free-living. Adult free-living nematodes range in size from tiny (< 1 mm) to huge (> 17 cm …

The strictly marine benthic Polyplacophora serve as basibionts for a wide spectrum of
endobiotic taxa. Here we present detailed observations of three yet unrecorded …

Rhaptothyreus is arguably the most enigmatic nematode taxon due to a combination of
unusual morphological features (eg, large feather-like amphids, vestigial mouth …

Two new species of the genus Trophomera Rubtzov & Platonova, 1974 (Nematoda:
