Answer 1

Answer:

Plant-parasitic nematodes include several groups causing severe crop losses. ... Several phytoparasitic nematode species cause histological damages to roots, including the formation of visible galls (e.g. by root-knot nematodes), which are useful characters for their diagnostic in the field.

Intestinal nematodes can cause some GI problems (eg, abdominal pain, diarrhea, anorexia, weight loss, malaise). Hookworms can cause serious anemia. Onchocerciasis can result in blindness (river blindness). Trichinosis can cause life-threatening manifestations, including myocarditis, CNS involvement, and pneumonitis.
