Guave and Jamun are important fruit crops of Sindh, Pakistan. Both fruits productions is hampered by a number of pests including nematodes. Guavas are useful source of ascorbic acid, calcium, pectin, phosphorus and soluble fibres. It adopts itself to most soil conditions and climate. Whereas Jamun is rich in protein and carbohydrates. It is highly recommended fruit for diabetic patients. In the present study nematodes associated with Guava and nematodes along with soil bacteria is rhizosphere soil of Jamun are being reported. The information is useful for nematologists, plant pathologists,...

Helminths are parasites living inside the body of animals and human beings. They are host specific and the site specific. There are many helminth parasites living in the intestine of human being and causing a huge destruction. It is observed from the recent research that four species of helminth parasites were present in population of Gulistan-e-johar area, i.e. Ascaris lumbricoides (Linnaeus, 1683), Hymenolepis nana (von Siebold, 1852), Ancylostoma duodenale (Angelo Dubini, 1838) and Trichuris trichuria (Morgani, 1740). It was observed that the infection of Ascariasis was highest and...

A study was undertaken to indentify different human helminth parasites and protozoans in various occupational and age groups of Swat, Pakistan. Seasonal variation of helminth and protozoan intestinal parasites were prepared in the form of histograms. Parasites and eggs were photographed and are being presented. Keeping in view that present study is based on the prevalence of these parasites in different occupational groups, ages and genders of Swat, Pakistan. Seasonal variation of helminth and protozoan intestinal parasites were prepared in the form of histograms. Parasites and eggs were...

Different organic amendments namely sawdust, neem leaf powder, sugarcane bagasse, marigold flower powder were used to control nematodes associated with Peach, Grapevine, Apple, Pomegranate and Almond seedlings in nurseries of Balochistan. Besides histology of infected almond roots seedlings with root-knot nematode and fungi Plasmidophora brassicae was studied in detail. These informations are useful for parasitologists, plant pathologists, Nematologists and farmers.

Attempt was made to control nematodes associated with chilli, onion and tomato using ethanol and methanol plant extracts of marigold, eucalyptus and neem in Sindh. Different plant parameters were studied in treated and control plants. For comparison a chemical nematicide carbofuran was used. Statistical analysis conducted to observe differences in control and extract treated vegetables yield. These information are useful for farmers and as well for researchers in the field of parasitology especially nematology.
