New research shows that parasitic nematodes, responsible for infecting more than a billion people globally, carry viruses that may solve the puzzle of why some cause serious diseases. A study led by ...
LAS VEGAS — Some species of parasitic roundworms can catapult themselves high into the air to latch onto fruit flies and other insects. Experiments now reveal that leaping Steinernema carpocapsae ...

Richard Huey and Norman O. Dronen, Jr. Paradilepis diminuta sp. n. (Cestoda: Dilepididae) is described from the roseate spoonbill Ajaia ajaja (Allen 1942) from the Texas Gulf coast. Paradilepis ...
The nematode worms that cause the world's most devastating crop losses have given up on sexual reproduction and instead rely on their large, duplicated genomes to thrive in new environments, report ...
Necropsies of 80 domestic lambs from Nebraska established the presence of the following 14 nematode parasites in that state: Haemonchus contortus, Ostertagia circumcincta, Trichostrongylus axei, ...
Is sex overrated? It depends on who you ask. In the case of the asexual root-knot nematode, the answer would probably be "yes". Unlike animals such as the American cockroach and leopard shark, which ...
Philometrid nematodes represent a group of parasitic worms that infect a wide range of marine and freshwater fishes. These parasites are medically and economically significant due to their impact on ...
Parasitic nematodes represent a major global health and agricultural challenge, and recent advancements in genome sequencing and transcriptomic analyses have greatly enhanced our understanding of ...
A worm invading the roots of a tomato plant may not be nearly as disturbing an image as a worm invading your intestines, but that doesn’t mean that the plant-feeder isn’t harmful. According to this ...
