Feeding types of plant-parasitic nematodes. This article is an attempt to list all agricultural pest nematodes. Species are sorted in alphabetical order of Latin name. A
This is caused by Strongyloides stercoralis.Even though the disease is principally a soil-transmitted helminthiasis, the infection being mediated through contaminated soil, it is however generally omitted in clinical practices and control programmes because of its (allegedly) relatively less significant influence on health and socio-economic conditions.
Mebendazole (MBZ), sold under the brand name Vermox among others, is a medication used to treat a number of parasitic worm infestations. [5] This includes ascariasis , pinworm infection , hookworm infections , guinea worm infections and hydatid disease , among others. [ 5 ]
Pyrantel pamoate – effective against most parasitic nematodes of the GIT; Macrocyclic lactones are glutamate-gated chloride channel agonists, [8] and include: Avermectins (including ivermectin and moxidectin) - effective against most common intestinal worms, except tapeworms, for which praziquantel is commonly used in conjunction for mass ...
EPNs had no effect on free-living nematodes. However, there was a reduction in the number of genera and abundance of plant-parasitic nematodes, which often remain enclosed within growths on the plant root. The mechanism by which insect parasitic nematodes have an effect on plant parasitic nematodes remains unknown.
Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) are one of the three most economically damaging genera of plant-parasitic nematodes on horticultural and field crops.Root-knot nematodes are distributed worldwide, and are obligate parasites of the roots of thousands of plant species, including monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous, herbaceous and woody plants.
Some species of soil mesofauna are susceptible to soil and vegetation changes because they rely on soil fertility and plant biomass for food and comfortable living conditions. The changes can affect some species' ability to reproduce, but since there are many variations in the species of soil mesofauna, the changes won’t affect all.
Tylenchulus semipenetrans, also known as the citrus nematode or citrus root nematode, is a species of plant pathogenic nematodes and the causal agent of slow decline of citrus. T. semipenetrans is found in most citrus production areas and diverse soil textures worldwide. Their feeding strategy is semi-endoparasitic and has a very narrow host ...
