Soybean cyst nematode, known as SCN, is a microscopic roundworm that infests the roots of soybeans, forming cysts that contain up to 500 eggs and the juvenile worms. The worms feed on the roots of the ...

Root-knot nematodes (RKN, Meloidogynespp.) are microscopic roundworms that feed on plant roots. M. incognita, the Southern root-knot nematode, is the most common RKN species in the region. Once RKN ...

A study analyzing Cambrian fossils uncovered that the ancestral ecdysozoan likely had a single ventral nerve cord, ...

An international team of scientists has uncovered a fascinating piece of the evolutionary puzzle: how the ventral nerve cord, a key component of the central nervous system, evolved in ecdysozoan ...

Scientists have unraveled the evolutionary history of the ventral nerve cord in ecdysozoan animals, revealing that the common ...

By understanding the genetic mechanisms underlying plant responses to nematode infection, researchers can develop crops that are more resilient to these parasitic pests.

The parasitic worms section includes terrestrial and marine Platyhelminthes (flatworms), parasitic Nematoda (roundworms), Nematophorpha (horsehair worms) and Acanthocephala. The collection has ...
