Fred Warner explains to the public what a nematode is and why they are the “unseen enemy” of animals, including humans, and plants. In an MSU Today 360 column, Warner says nematodes are the most numerous animals on our planet and of the greater than 8,000 samples received in the MSU Diagnostic Services lab this year, roughly 6,500 were submitted for nematode analyses.
