Bleeding-edge state of the Art NemRec -- Automatic nematode recognition by image Site: http://168.138.167.251:8080/ Needs more images for training. Great effort so far!!! @activeplantnema

What are the largest taxonomic groups of nematodes by family? @activeplantnema

Seven key morphological features to examine in nematodes: @activeplantnema

A West Kootenay male Teratocephalus sp. @activeplantnema

Curious cuticle on a female Rhabditis. @activeplantnema

West Kootenay Tripyla sp. with annotations. I may be able to identify a species using Howard Ferris' keys on Nemaplex. nemaplex.ucdavis.edu/Taxadata/G621.… @activeplantnema

@drkeithsiau @Asadthegeek trichinellosis (caused by Trichinella worms)

@Asadthegeek A great reminder that not all endocarditis is bacterial! Out of curiosity, what other aetiologies does NBTE cover?

This was seen in a patient with pancreatic cancer. What has happened here?

"... higher pollution in harbours and the presence of some genera of nematodes are correlated with higher concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons because they are more tolerant to pollution ..." nature.com/articles/s4159…

#WormFactWednesday this week is all about how epigenetics can impact inheritance and gene expression in nematodes! The environment can alter gene expression from minor and reversible short-term changes to the DNA of the sperm and eggs.

It's a good site for gray-listed science papers or those behind a paywall. I think you may need a citation for searches to work, though. sci-hub.st Here is one concrete example: sci-hub.st/10.1139/z77-246 @activeplantnema
