The Dorylaimida represent a large and very important group of soil and freshwater inhabiting nematodes of great agricultural importance and as a consequence the number of species and higher taxa that have been described hitherto is the highest within Nematoda.

High-resolution spatial maps of the global abundance of soil nematodes and the composition of functional groups show that soil nematode are found in higher abundances in sub-Arctic regions, than in temperate or tropical regions.
Steinernema abbasi sp. n. ( Nematoda : Steinernematidae ) from the Sultanate of Oman
L'observation morphologique, l'analyse de l'ADN et des croisements interspecifiques ont montre que S. abbasi pourrait etre utilise comme agent de controle biologique dans des environnements tres chauds, particulierement au Moyen-Orient.
Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity of Trachyspermum ammi seeds in collagen induced arthritis in rats.
The study revealed that the treatment with TAE was effective in bringing significant changes on all the parameters studied as compared with CIA rat, suggesting either termination of cellular infiltration or limiting the generation of oxidants following CIA in rats and might have potential value in the treatment of inflammatory disease.
