sp. nov. was collected from two different localities of Manipur. Though the specimens collected from two different areas show some variations in their morphology and morphometric data, it was taken as the same species due to similarities in many characters. sp. nov. had females with L = 294.1-461.91 µm, a = 24.28-38.14, b = 6.3-8.65, b' = 3.61-4.68, c = 12.47-16.46, c' = 3-4.25, stylet = 10.38-13.84 µm, V = 68.88-71.69, post uterine sac = 25.98-53.63 µm long and two lateral lines. Males were common with spicule of 10.38-17.3 µm. Mucro were present in both sexes. Species presented with illustrations and morphometrics.

Hookworm infection represents a major global disease burden, in terms of both morbidity and economic impact, and there has been a resurgence of hookworms in developed nations where these parasites were once thought to be eradicated. Hookworms can infest humans or other mammals as their primary hosts depending on the species. The 2 most common species that seek human hosts-Necator americanus and Ancylostoma duodenale-enter the body through the epidermis, and hookworm infection may manifest as a pruritic and papular inflammatory reaction know as ground itch.

The filtrate of the nematophagous fungus produces silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with nematicidal potential. However, there are currently no reports of its activity against eggs. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential ovicidal activity of AgNPs- on eggs.

Background: is a known cause of a zoonotic infectious illness called toxocariasis. Parathenic hosts are important as they can transmit larvae 2 (L) through direct transmission. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) techniques are needed to provide a three-dimensional image of each stage of larvae.

During the isolation, identification, and assessment of nematode-trapping fungi (NTF) against nematodes, we discovered an unusual fungus in decaying wood from Morelos State, Mexico. This isolate exhibited some characteristics similar to those of the genus; however, we found that it did not match any previously reported species within this genus after conducting morphological and phylogenetic analyses using the ITS, TEF, and RPB2 regions. This new species displays conidiophores with two or three stems emerging from the same initial site and conidiophores with only a single stem and aerial thickened hyphae from which single conidiophores emerge, forming 3D adhesive nets.

The average life expectancy is increasing worldwide, but the same cannot be said for a healthy life expectancy (defined as the period during which a person can live a healthy and independent life). Therefore, a major challenge is how to extend healthy life expectancy. One option is to reduce age-related muscle atrophy (sarcopenia) and cognitive decline.
