Parallels Between Plant and Animal Parasitic Nematodes

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Genomics and Molecular Genetics of Plant-Nematode Interactions

Abstract

The simplicity of the nematode body plan, associated morphology and low cell number belies their molecular complexity which, in combination, have provided for unrivalled success amongst the metazoa, with nematodes dominating biomass statistics. Their structural simplicity means that most nematodes, free-living or parasitic, have much in common with parallels in almost every facet of their biology. One major difference between the parasitic nematodes and their free-living cousins is their propensity for host interaction, a fact that is believed to have driven more rapid molecular evolutionary change as they strive to compete with their host for resources and survival in the face of host defence strategies. The fact that both animal and plant parasitism by nematodes arose independently on multiple occasions points to a diversity of starting points for their parasitic way of life. Despite this, animal and plant parasitic nematodes show many of the same traits that are believed to contribute to their success, including: their ability to arrest development at key stages in their life cycle; their ability to locate and infect their host; their ability to manipulate their interface with the host so that they can survive for extended periods and derive appropriate nutrients. Commonalities in the adoption of these strategies in both animal and plant parasites mean that there are many parallels between them, not just in their basic biology which is common across nematode life strategies, but in their parasite-specific adaptations and behaviours that enable them to succeed as infectious organisms living within and upon host species.
