This study shows electrostatic forces help parasitic nematodes attach to insect hosts in the air, improving their survival.

This study investigates whether amino acid substitutions in the Na+/K+-ATPase contribute to salt tolerance in insects using gene-edited Drosophila models, finding that some substitutions enhance tolerance while others do not.

The paper presents the genome of Steinernema hermaphroditum and its associated bacteria, revealing gene clusters and a potential second bacterial circle in entomopathogenic nematodes.

This study investigates whether two amino acid substitutions in the Na+/K+-ATPase of Steinernema carpocapsae contribute to its salt tolerance compared to congeners, finding negative epistasis between the substitutions.

This study shows cardenolides in milkweeds reduce root-knot nematode reproduction and cause neurotoxic effects, suggesting they defend plants against these pests.

The paper develops a multiparametric fitness assay to evaluate anthelmintics in Nippostrongylus brasiliensis, finding that NCR247 does not significantly impair parasite fitness across tested parameters.

This study identifies Hp-FAR-2, a secreted fatty acid- and retinol-binding protein from H. polygyrus, which suppresses macrophage polarization by modulating both M1 and M2 markers, potentially aiding parasite persistence.

This paper demonstrates that a reversible kink instability in nematodes enhances jumping performance and proposes a bio-inspired model for soft robots.

This study shows parasitic nematode fatty acid- and retinol-binding proteins (FARs) suppress host immunity by modulating lipid signaling pathways and reducing antimicrobial peptide production in flies.
