Microscopic unsegmented worms, many of which are parasites on plant roots. Un-segmented round worms with elongated, fusiform, or sac-like bodies covered with cuticle, and inhabiting soil, water, plants and animals.
A worm that has an unsegmented, rounded body.
a roundworm; some are parasites an some are fed to fish.
A worm with a long, cylindrical, unsegmented body, such as the model organism Caenorhabditis Elegans.
A primitive roundworm extensively studied by developmental geneticists.
an unsegmented, elongate worm (plant pathogenic species usually minute in size)
a worm that belongs to the phylum Nematoda. Nematodes have unsegmented, cylindrical bodies, often narrowing at each end. Many species are parasitic e.g. hookworm.
unsegmented worms with elongated rounded body pointed at both ends; mostly free-living but some are parasitic
a slender worm, that when observed from the side angle or cut crosswise is round, thus the name roundworms
a tiny worm, is applied via lawn sprayer
an unsegmented worm with an elongated, round body pointed at both ends; mostly free-living but some are parasitic.
Microscopic, wormlike animals that live saprophytically in water or soil, or as parasites of plants and animals.
Tiny, microscopic animals, also called "roundworms." Some nematodes are important decomposers in the soil. Others live in water, and some are parasites.
Many families of long, legless, worm-shaped animals, including tens of thousands of species worldwide. Some species are aquatic, in freshwater or the sea. Some species are parasites of birds, mammals, or other vertebrate animals. Some species are parasitoids of insects. Others feed on plant roots.
A microscopic work that lives in soil, plants, or water; some are beneficial to plants, other are harmful plant pests.
Any worm of the phylum nematoda, having unsegmented, threadlike bodies, many of which, as the hookworm, are parasitic.
Any class of slender, unsegmented, cylindrical worms.
nematodes, or roundworms, are generally slender worms, circular in cross section. They are remarkably uniform in structure but vary a lot in size and way of life. Some live as parasites in other animals; some are parasites of plants and some live free in soil, marine mud and decaying organic matter.
General term for a roundworm.
Any of the class or phylum Nematoda of elongated cylindrical worms parasitic in animals or plants free-living in soil or water. Generally microscopic, wormlike animals that live saprophytically in water or soil.
(ne- mah - toad) A type of roundworm; members of this phylum are often parasitic. Horseshoe crab larvae feed on nematodes.
A type of microscopic roundworm that feeds on the roots of grapevines.
Nematodes are invertebrates comprising the parasitic roundworms. They are characterized by a smooth narrow cylindrical unsegmented body tapered at both ends. They shed their tough outer cuticle four times during life to allow growth. The microscopic free-living forms are found in all parts of the world, where they play an important role in the destruction and recycling of organic matter. The parasitic nematodes are much larger and some of them can cause serious diseases in man.
Any of a phylum of worms, often parasites of animals and plants, with long, cylindrical, unsegmented bodies and a heavy cuticle (e.g., hookworm, pinworm).
Small, round worms, usually microscopic and colorless, that live free in moist soil, water or decaying or living organic matter. Parasitic forms puncture plant tissues and live by sucking the juice of the plant.
An extremely small (.5-1.5mm long) nonsegmented worm. Some are parasitic and live on plant roots.
Roundworm that can cause a variety of diseases, including filariasis, ascariasis, and trichinosis.
Members of the phylum Nematoda, commonly called roundworms.
Microscopic soil worm, which may attack roots or other structures of plants and cause extensive damage.
Roundworm (S) Worm (S) Nema (S) Any member of the phylum Nematoda, including the pinworm, hookworm and Trichinella; all of these are characterized as “roundwormsâ€. C. elegans is a member of this phylum ( De Ley, 2006).
More or less elongate, spindle-shaped, worm-like animals ranging in size from less than a millimeter to several meters in length, living as saprophytes in soil or water or as parasites of plants or animals. ()
The nematodes or roundworms (Phylum Nematoda from Greek (nema): "thread" + -ode "like") are one of the most common phyla of animals, with over 20,000 different described species (over 15,000 are parasitic). They are ubiquitous in freshwater, marine, and terrestrial environments, where they often outnumber other animals in both individual and species counts, and are found in locations as diverse as Antarctica and oceanic trenches. Further, there are a great many parasitic forms, including pathogens in most plants and animals, humans included.
