Plant-parasitic nematodes pose a major global threat to crop productivity by penetrating roots, inducing galls or lesions and disrupting nutrient and water uptake. Their success is intimately linked ...

Parasitic nematodes occupy nearly every aquatic habitat, from coastal seas to freshwater lakes and rivers, infecting hosts that range from invertebrates to fishes, amphibians and even marine reptiles.

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 ...

1. Previous studies have found that migratory birds generally have a more diverse array of pathogens such as parasites, as well as higher intensities of infection. However, it is not clear whether ...
