Gnotobiology of Steinernema scapterisci and bacteriological study of its symbiont confirmed that this nematode harbors a symbiotic species of Xenorhabdus, as do other Steinermena species. Based on phenotypic and 16S rDNA data, this Xenorhabdus strain UY61 could be distinguished from other Xenorhabdus species. Bacteria reported previously as being associated with this nematode and belonging to several other genera were probably contaminating bacteria located in the intercuticular space of the infective juveniles (IJs). These bacteria were detrimental to nematode reproduction in Galleria mellonella. Axenic S. scapterisci and its symbiont Xenorhabdus strain UY61 alone were not pathogenic to G. mellonella. The combination of both partners reestablished the pathogenicity of the complex toward G. mellonella. This combination also gave the best yields of IJs when produced in this insect and in vitro production on artificial diet.

Enthesitis related arthritis (ERA) is a specific type of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and ERA typically begins with enthesitis and peripheral arthritis in the lower extremities, progressing later in the disease to sacroiliitis and spinal involvement. The condition has a strong relationship with the HLA-B27 and primarily affects boys between the ages of 13 and 16 years. We describe an unusual presentation of ERA in a young boy with pubic pain and fever, describing its quintessential magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings.

The entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) Steinernema carpocapsae and Steinernema hermaphroditum can efficiently infect the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. The EPN infective juvenile (IJ) stage is the free-living and non-feeding stage that seeks out suitable insects to infect. While previous studies have described successful infection of melanogaster larvae with a standard amount of 100 IJs, the pathogenicity of a single IJ nematode towards insects remains poorly understood.

During vegetative growth, plants undergo various morphological and physiological changes in the transition from the juvenile phase to the adult phase. In terms of stress resistance, it has been suggested that plants gain or reinforce disease resistance during the process of maturation, which is recognized as adult plant resistance or age-related resistance. While much knowledge has been obtained about changes in disease resistance as growth stages progress, knowledge about changes in plant responses to pathogens with progressing age in plants is limited.

The most common and damaging plant parasitic nematodes are root-knot nematodes (RNK). Although hemp has been clearly infected by RNK, little information is available regarding the extent of the damage and losses caused. In addition, no information is available concerning hemp seed extracts' activity against RNK.

Pinctada birnavirus (PiBV) is the causative agent of summer atrophy in pearl oyster ( (Gould)). The disease, which induces mass mortality in juveniles less than 1 year old and abnormalities in adults, was first reported in Japan in 2019. Research on the disease has been hindered by the lack of cell lines capable of propagating PiBV.
