Nitrogen Catabolism in Nematode Parasites

MDR and Nematode Parasites

Chemotherapy remains the foremost available tool for the control of nematode parasites. However, the substantial use of anthelmintics, combined with a scarcity of new anthelmintic classes, has led to a gradual increase in the resistance of nematode parasites to these compounds. Multi-Drug Resistance (MDR) in economically important livestock nematodes, such as Haemonchus contortus enables the pa...

The Nematode Parasites of Vertebrates

The study of parasitic nematodes has proceeded at an extremely rapid rate in recent years, and it has become increasingly difficult for investigators, particularly those who are interested in systematic phases of the subject (and every parasitologist is and must be to a greater or less extent), to keep abreast of the current literature. What constituted single genera fifty years ago, with no mo...

11 Nematode Parasites of Citrus *

Citrus is grown in more than 125 countries in a belt within 35° latitude north or south of the equator. The major limiting factor to citrus production is a requirement that the occurrence of freezing temperatures be of very short duration. Within the family Rutaceae, the genera Citrus (oranges, mandarins, pomelos, grapefruit, lemons, limes and citrons), Fortunella (kumquats) and Poncirus (trifo...

Phenotypic Adaptations in Pasteuria spp. Nematode Parasites.

The endospore and central core diameters of 69 isolates of Pasteuria spp. showed a relationship with the body wall thickness of their corresponding host nematodes. A relationship was also observed when cuticle and hypodermis layer data were derived from transmission electron microscopy micrographs. Principal component analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis based on endospore and central cor...
