Previous studies had associated nematodes with manatee skin. One in 2011 described an “extraordinarily” long-tailed diplogastrid nematode, Cutidiplogaster manati, found in skin lesions on West ...

In the United States, the most well-known skin-penetrating parasitic worm, called a nematode, is the hookworm. But globally, it is estimated that over 600 million people are infected with the skin ...

Some towers were able to stand for more than 12 hours and generate “exploratory arms” to survey the surrounding space. As with ants, mites, and slime molds, nematode towers could be formed for ...

Living towers: A closer look To find out what was motivating the nematodes’ building behavior, the study team tested the worms’ reactions to being poked, prodded and even visited by a fly ...

Mighty jumping nematodes The tiniest hitchhikers: Nematodes leap onto bumblebees via electric fields Worms lept at an average speed of 0.86 meters per second, close to human walking speed.

Researchers have developed an automated measurement system to assess healthy lifespan using nematodes. This system performs a mini-population analysis to classify specific populations of nematodes ...

A nematode found deep in frozen sediment has proven its ability to survive extreme environments long term. Scientists studying the species say their work could inform the protection of other animals.

The ancient roundworm, or nematode, belongs to the newly described species Panagrolaimus kolymaensis.Researchers discovered it nestled inside a fossilized squirrel burrow that was extracted from ...
