Disease relevance of Nematoda

• Cross-reactivity experiments with homologous and heterologous infection sera of various helminthiases indicate that, epitopes bound to the neutral glycolipid fraction show structural similarity within the Nematoda, but not to the Cestoda or Trematoda [1].
• Toxicity of cadmium to Caenorhabditis elegans (Nematoda) in whole sediment and pore water--the ambiguous role of organic matter [2].

High impact information on Nematoda

• We find that the number of PTC-related and Hh-r proteins has expanded in C. elegans, and that this expansion occurred early in Nematoda [3].
• The results of recent genetic analysis of rabphilin knock-out animals, however, strongly refute this notion, because there are no obvious genetic interactions between Rab3 and rabphilin in nematoda (Staunton, J., Ganetzky, B., and Nonet, M. L. (2001) J. Neurosci. 21, 9255-9264), suggesting that Rab3 is not a major ligand of rabphilin in vivo [4].
• Toll-related receptors (TLR) have been found in four animal phyla: Nematoda, Arthropoda, Echinodermata, and Chordata [5].
• Seasonal occurrence of helminths in freshwater fishes. Part IV. Adult Cestoda, Nematoda and Acanthocephala [6].
• Sequence comparisons identified homology with undescribed, Cys-rich repeats across animal phyla (i.e. Arthropod, Nematoda) [7].

Biological context of Nematoda

• Pgp have been identified from both phyla of parasitic helminths, Platyhelmintha and Nematoda, and alterations in expression levels and allele frequencies of Pgp in anthelmintic-resistant populations have been observed in nematodes [8].
• Effect of cambendazole and haloxon on the carbohydrate metabolism of Ascaridia galli and Heterakis gallinae (Nematoda) [9].

Associations of Nematoda with chemical compounds

• A model is proposed to describe the accumulation of sealworm parasites (Pseudoterranova decipiens, Nematoda, Ascaridoidae) in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) [10].
• Parenteral feeding of rats immunized to Trichinella spiralis (nematoda) led to a decrease in gut mass [11].
• Investigations of the synthesis and metabolism of 5-hydroxytryptamine in Ascaridia galli (Nematoda) [12].
• The results are presented of an experimental study of the population biology of chronic Trichuris muris (Nematoda) infection in cortisone-treated CBA/Ca mice [13].
• Aldose reductase and sorbitol dehydrogenase in the muscle of Ascaris suum (Nematoda) [14].

Gene context of Nematoda

• The most serious evolutional diversity was observed between the metazoa and nematoda through PDI evolutional processing [15].
• Immunocytochemical demonstration of a neuropeptide in Ascaris suum (Nematoda) using an antiserum to FMRFamide [16].
• Effect of temperature on the activities of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and hexokinase in entomopathogenic nematodes (Nematoda: Steinernematidae) [17].
• A novel cystathionine beta-synthase from Panagrellus redivivus (Nematoda) [18].
• The results are presented of an experimental investigation of the relationship between faecal egg counts and worm burden in outbred MF1 mice infected with Heligmosomoides polygyrus (Nematoda) [19].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Nematoda

• Morphological changes in Capillaria obsignata (Nematoda: Trichuridae) eggs after treatment with cambendazole [20].
• This study investigated genetic variability within the 'eyeworm'Thelazia callipaeda (Nematoda: Thelazioidea) from Europe and Asia by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-coupled sequencing and mutation scanning of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene (cox 1) [21].
