Anisakid nematode larvae from Trichiurus lepturus off coast of Rio de Janeiro were studied using light, laser confocal and scanning electron microscopy, in addition to a molecular approach. Mitochondrial cytochrome c-oxidase subunit 2 (mtDNA cox-2), partial 28S (LSU) and internal transcribed spacers (ITS-1, 5.8S, ITS-2) of ribosomal DNA were amplified using the polymerase chain reaction and seq...

Parasitic nematodes are known as important pathogens that cause problems for human and animal health. Some of them naturally inhabit the marine environment, where they are widespread and can be found in a variety of different hosts. Food-borne zoonoses via aquatic animals are most often linked to anisakid nematodes of the genera Anisakis Dujardin, 1845, Contracaecum Railliet and Henry, 1912, an...

abstract in order to identify plant parasitic nematodes of potato fields, 55 soil samples and a few tuber samples were collected from khorasan razavi province during 2005-2006 .soil samples were washed and nematodes were extracted by centrifugal flotation technique. the extracted nematodes were fixed and transferred to glycerin. baermann funnel method was used for extracting nematodes from tube...

in order to investigate the biodiversity of plant parasitic nematodes of vegetable fields in mashhad area, 51 soil and root samples were collected during 2010-2011. nematodes were extracted by centrifugal flotation technique and transferred to glycerin according to the modified de grisse method (1969). the permanent slides were prepared from the extracted nematodes. the nematodes were identifie...
