Understanding Hidden Antigens and Targeting Parasitic Nematodes
Nematodes can be free-living or parasitic in nature. Infections with parasitic nematodes that directly or indirectly affect the health and productivity of humans and livestock have been the subject of scientific studies for decades. Overall, the treatment and control of nematode parasites are limited and dependent on single or repeated administration of anthelmintics, a strategy that has led to...
متن کاملPlant-parasitic nematodes: towards understanding molecular players in stress responses
Background Plant-parasitic nematode interactions occur within a vast molecular plant immunity network. Following initial contact with the host plant roots, plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) activate basal immune responses. Defence priming involves the release in the apoplast of toxic molecules derived from reactive species or secondary metabolism. In turn, PPNs must overcome the poisonous and st...
متن کاملNuclear receptors in parasitic nematodes
Introduction One of the most prevalent classes of parasitic organisms is the helminth (parasitic worms), which collectively infect more than 1 billion people worldwide and cause a range of maladies including malnutrition, growth and mental retardation, disfigurement and physical disabilities, and death (1). Helminths that infect humans are generally considered to comprise two major phyla: Nemat...

the number of bacteria per dauerjuvenile. Preliminary data established similar LD50s and LT50s for X. nematophilus subsp, nematophilus (from the DD 136 strain) and X. nematophilus subsp, nematophilus vat. mexicanus (from the Mexican strain). The absence of toxin production by either S.feltiae strain or bacterial types in a culture medium similar to the host's hemolymph has been reported (5,6). ...
متن کاملAtomic force microscopy of plant-parasitic nematodes.
A simple method for atomic force microscopy (AFM) of nematode cuticle was developed to visualize the external topography of Helicotylenchus lobus, Meloidogyne javanica, M. incognita, and Xiphinema diversicaudatum. Endospores of two isolates of the nematode parasite, Pasteuria penetrans, adhering to M. incognita and X. diversicaudatum were also visualized and measured by this technique. Scanning...
