Pine wood nematode disease (PWD) is one of the most devastating forest diseases worldwide, often described as the "cancer" of pine trees due to its rapid and large-scale lethality. Early and accurate detection of infected trees is essential for inter...
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) exhibit a bending-elastic instability, or kink, before becoming airborne, a feature previously hypothesized but not substantiated to enhance jumping performance. Here, we provide the evidence that this kink is crucia...
Pine wilt disease caused by the pine wood nematode, , has profound implications for global forestry ecology. Conventional PCR methods need long operating time and are complicated to perform. The need for rapid and effective detection methodologies to...
Parasites in fish muscle present a significant problem for the seafood industry in terms of both quality and health and safety, but the low contrast between parasites and fish tissue makes them exceedingly difficult to detect. The traditional method ...
BACKGROUND: Identifying species, particularly small metazoans, remains a daunting challenge and the phylum Nematoda is no exception. Typically, nematode species are differentiated based on morphometry and the presence or absence of certain characters...

The current study reports the parasitological results of a quality control audit in 21 European boar studs. Field investigations were performed over a 2-year period (2012-2013) during the winter and spring. From each stud, an average of 30 (range, 25...
The 100 years of research, development, commercialization and use of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) since their discovery in the 1920s have seen impressive progress. Nowadays, many EPN products, based on a relatively limited number of EPN species, ...
BACKGROUND: The pine wood nematode (PWN) has caused tremendous damage to pine forests in China. Accurately predicting the infestation stage of PWN is crucial for implementing appropriate management, such as chemically controlling early-infested trees...
