    Abstract The Baermann filter method is a long-standing, simple technique for recovering nematodes from soil and charcoal coprocultures. Material containing the nematodes is placed on a mesh screen lined with several layers of tissue paper or cheesecloth, and the screen is placed in the mouth of the funnel. Rubber tubing attached to the funnel stem is clamped, and water is added to submerge the material. The filtration material allows the nematodes to swim through while holding back the substrate. Over time the nematodes settle at the clamp in the tubing. After several hours, the clamp is opened and water containing the nematodes is collected. Although recovery of the nematodes is efficient, they are often contaminated with soil or charcoal debris, requiring a secondary cleaning by sedimentation or filtration. Described here is a small, simplified version of the Baermann apparatus that can be used as a secondary cleaning device. The "mini-Baermann" is constructed from materials commonly found in the laboratory. Experiments using infective larvae of 3 nematode species demonstrated that the majority of the larvae applied to the device are collected within 2 hr, and nearly all by 4 hr. Dead larvae fail to pass through the filter and do not significantly impact the passage of living larvae. In addition to removing debris from nematode suspensions, this device can rapidly and efficiently separate living, motile larvae from dead larvae.

    Abstract Soil-transmitted nematodes (STNs) place a tremendous burden on health and economics worldwide with an estimate of at least 1.5 billion people, or 24% of the population, being infected with at least 1 STN globally. Children and pregnant women carry the heavier pathological burden, and disease caused by the blood-feeding worm in the intestine can result in anaemia and delays in physical and intellectual development. These parasites are capable of infecting and reproducing in various host species, but what determines host specificity remains unanswered. Identifying the molecular determinants of host specificity would provide a crucial breakthrough towards understanding the biology of parasitism and could provide attractive targets for intervention. To investigate specificity mechanisms, members of the hookworm genus

    Abstract Soil-transmitted helminths (STH) refer to several parasitic nematode species that infect over 1 billion people worldwide. Infections with Ascaris lumbricoides , Trichuris trichiura , and the hookworms Necator americanus and Ancylostoma duodenale cause significant morbidity in more than 450 million people, primarily children and pregnant women, resulting in over 39 million disability-adjusted life years lost. Considerable effort and resources have been, and continue to be, spent on top-down, medical-based programs to control STH infections, with little success. This review discusses the problems with these methods and proposes a new emphasis on sustainable, long-term investments in sanitation-based approaches using improved latrines (the "box") to provide bottom-up, culturally appropriate, and economically desirable solutions to STH control in endemic areas. One such approach is the use of biogas technology. Waste undergoes fermentation in specially designed septic systems, generating a methane gas mixture ("biogas") that can be burned to augment or replace household energy needs such as cooking and light generation. Also, the effluent from the fermentation chamber provides a high quality, nitrogen rich fertilizer. Using China as an example, the use of biogas technology as a solution to rural sanitation and energy problems is described, and its advantages over current strategies of mass drug administration and vaccination for STH control are highlighted.

    Abstract Entomopathogenic nematodes in the genera Heterorhabditis and Steinernema are obligate parasites of insects that live in the soil. The main characteristic of their life cycle is the mutualistic association with the bacteria Photorhabdus and Xenorhabdus, respectively. The nematode parasites are able to locate and enter suitable insect hosts, subvert the insect immune response, and multiply efficiently to produce the next generation that will actively hunt new insect prey to infect. Due to the properties of their life cycle, entomopathogenic nematodes are popular biological control agents, which are used in combination with insecticides to control destructive agricultural insect pests. Simultaneously, these parasitic nematodes represent a research tool to analyze nematode pathogenicity and host anti-nematode responses. This research is aided by the recent development of genetic techniques and transcriptomic approaches for understanding the role of nematode secreted molecules during infection. Here, a detailed protocol on maintaining entomopathogenic nematodes and using a gene knockdown procedure is provided. These methodologies further promote the functional characterization of entomopathogenic nematode infection factors.
