Nematode-Induced Disease

Nematode-induced disease occurs when tiny, thread-like worms called nematodes infect plants, animals, or humans, causing harm or illness. These parasites often enter the host's body or tissues, disrupting normal functions by feeding on cells or tissues, leading to symptoms like inflammation, tissue damage, or weakened health. In plants, nematodes attack roots, affecting nutrient uptake and causing poor growth. In humans and animals, infections can result in discomfort, disease, or transmission of other pathogens. Understanding and controlling nematode infections is important for agriculture, health, and disease management.
