Nematode towers. Nematodes are believed to be the most numerous animals on the planet, but moving great distances is not easy when you are a microscopic worm. So they climb on top of one another to form a tower to catch passing animal and hitchhike on them.

Onchocerca tubingensis is the name of a #nematode. It was discovered in 1974 and published by O. Bain und H. Schulz-Key in Tropenmedizin und Parasitologie and named after #Tübingen. #RedDeer (Cervus elaphus) are the host of this parasite. The adult worms of Onchocerca tubingensis are found in subcutaneous nodules on the caudal part of the back, while the #microfilariae are distributed on the ventral part of the body with maximum densities in the region of the #sternum.

The #pine #wilt disease caused by the #nematode #Bursaphelenchus xylophilus and transmitted by longhorn beetles from the genus #Monochamus is believed to have originated in North America and spread to eastern Asia and to Europe, threatening pine #forests in these regions. Review in the journal Plant Pathology by Matthew A. Back and others - https://doi.org/10.1111/ppa.13875

A #nematode #gel to protect #crops in Africa and #Asia

The fall armyworm is a destructive corn pest that recently arrived in Africa and Asia from the #Americas and began causing major yield losses and increased use of #insecticides, which pose #environmental and human health #risks.

#Entomopathogenic #nematodes are soil-dwelling roundworms that can #parasitize and kill fall armyworms with no risks to people or the #environment, but application can be tricky because the nematodes are susceptible to desiccation and UV radiation from sunlight.

Patrick Fallet and colleagues report success using an innocuous #biodegradable gel made from #carboxymethyl #cellulose that protects #nematodes and keeps them hydrated. The study is published in the journal #PNAS #Nexus.
