nematodeborne
Nematodeborne refers to diseases or conditions transmitted by nematodes, which are a diverse group of roundworms. These parasitic worms can infect a wide range of hosts, including humans, animals, and plants. The transmission of nematodeborne diseases can occur through various routes depending on the specific nematode species. In humans, common transmission methods include ingestion of contaminated food or water, contact with infected soil, or bites from intermediate insect vectors.
Symptoms of nematodeborne infections vary greatly depending on the type of nematode and the affected host.
Diagnosis of nematodeborne diseases typically involves microscopic examination of stool samples, blood tests, or tissue biopsies
