Neglected tropical diseases caused by parasitic nematodes inflict an immense health and
socioeconomic burden throughout much of the developing world. Current estimates indicate …

Animal behavior is critically dependent on the activity of neuropeptides. Reversals, one of
the most conspicuous behaviors in Caenorhabditis elegans, plays an important role in …

Neural circuit synaptic connectivities (the connectome) provide the anatomical foundation for
our understanding of nematode nervous system function. However, other nonsynaptic routes …

Nematode parasite infections cause disease in humans and animals and threaten global
food security by reducing productivity in livestock and crop farming. The escalation of …

Expanding 'omics' datasets for parasitic nematodes have accelerated the identification of
putative drug targets derived from the nematode nervous system. However, novel drug …

Root-knot nematodes (RKN), from the Meloidogyne genus, have a worldwide distribution
and cause severe economic damage to many life-sustaining crops. Because of their lack of …

Background: Parasitic nematodes significantly undermine global human and animal health
and productivity. Parasite control is reliant on anthelmintic administration however over-use …

Neural circuit synaptic connectivities (the connectome) provide the anatomical foundation for
our understanding of nematode nervous system function. However, other non-synaptic …

Parasitic infections of humans and animals are often associated with high morbidity and
socioeconomic burden. Highly prevalent in developing countries, they contribute to the …

Animals have different foraging strategies to find new sources of food. In Caenorhabditis
elegans, these strategies are governed by changing the frequency and duration of the basic …
