Any zoo-parasite nema-researchers here?

This picture shows the head of Ostertagia ostertagi, a parasite of cattle 🐄 for which Ruud Wilbers (Wageningen University) develops vaccines. Interested? Please check his webpage: www.wur.nl/en/persons/r...

Still reflecting on our last webinar—we had participants from 15 different countries tuning in! It was truly exciting to see such diversity and the high level of engagement from nematologists around the world. 🌍✨

Exciting data showed by Ana Zotta! She observed that +Mi virulent root-knot nematodes are related to several deletions (Even up to 1.2Mb!) across the genome. However, they come with a fitness cost!

Excellent talk by @B_Mol_ (Crop Science Centre - University of Cambridge) on the effector repertoire of Heterodera schachtii!
