Although hatching from eggs is fundamental for nematode biology it remains poorly
understood. For animal-parasitic nematodes in particular, advancement has been slow …

For more than four decades, the free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has been
extensively used in anthelmintic research. Classic genetic screens and heterologous …

Climate change is a well-documented driver of both wildlife extinction and disease
emergence, but the negative impacts of climate change on parasite diversity are …

Plant-defense responses are triggered by perception of conserved microbe-associated
molecular patterns (MAMPs), for example, flagellin or peptidoglycan. However, it remained …

Human Parasitology, Fifth Edition emphasizes a medical perspective that also incorporates
functional morphology, physiology, biochemistry and immunology to enhance appreciation …

Phylogenetic relationships within many lineages of the phylum Nematoda remain
unresolved, despite numerous morphology-based and molecular analyses. We performed …

Parasites are often hidden in their hosts and exhibit patchy spatial distributions. This makes
them relatively difficult to detect and sample. Consequently we have poor knowledge of …

Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are unique parasites due to their symbiosis with
entomopathogenic bacteria and their ability to kill insect hosts quickly after infection. It is …

Host-parasite interactions exert strong selection pressures on the genomes of both host and
parasite. These interactions can lead to negative frequency-dependent selection, a form of …

Microorganisms and nematodes in the rhizosphere profoundly impact plant health, and
small-molecule signaling is presumed to play a central role in plant rhizosphere interactions …
