TY - GEN T1 - Increased sensitivity of an infrared motility assay for nematicide discovery AU - Vairoletti, Franco AU - Baron, Antonela AU - Saiz, Cecilia AU - Mahler, Graciela AU - Salinas, Gustavo DO - 10.17912/micropub.biology.000500 UR - http://beta.micropublication.org/journals/biology/micropub-biology-000500/ AB - Nematodes are a diverse phylum that includes numerous lineages that parasitize humans, animals, and terrestrial plants, being a health threat to humans, livestock and crops that heavily impacts food production and economies, particularly in developing countries. The main control strategy for nematode-caused infections relies on chemotherapy, but there are few compound families available and their efficacy is seriously compromised due to resistance dissemination, chiefly in crops and livestock. This demands an urgent need for new nematicides to be used in field applications. (Caffrey et al. 2012) PY - 2021 JO - microPublication Biology ER -
