Foliar Nematode Aphelenchoides spp. (Nematoda: Aphelenchida: Aphelenchoididae) by Lindsay Wheeler, William T. Crow

“…While most members of Aphelenchoides are fungivorous (feed on fungi), these three species have populations that are facultative plant-parasites that can feed on live plant tissue. Ten other species of Aphelenchoides also are recognized as facultative plant-parasites, but these are not as commonly encountered or as economically significant as the aforementioned species. …”

Exploring Drug Targets in Isoprenoid Biosynthetic Pathway for Plasmodium falciparum by Tabish Qidwai, Farrukh Jamal, Mohd Y. Khan, Bechan Sharma

“…Emergence of rapid drug resistance to existing antimalarial drugs in Plasmodium falciparum has created the need for prediction of novel targets as well as leads derived from original molecules with improved activity against a validated drug target. The malaria parasite has a plant plastid-like apicoplast. To overcome the problem of falciparum malaria, the metabolic pathways in parasite apicoplast have been used as antimalarial drug targets. …”
