- Nematode Net - Project at Washington University to sequence parasitic nematodes of humans, animals, and plants. Provides access to new gene sequence information, tools for analyzing nematode sequences, and brief information and photos of the species.
- Nematodes as Biological Control Agents of Insects - Information on how entomopathogenic nematodes can be used as biological agents of insects and the taxonomy and systematics of these nematodes.
- Phylum Nematoda - Introduction to soil-dwelling nematodes from the University of Florida Department of Entomology and Nematodology.
- Parasitic Nematodes Home Page - This is the home page of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Nematology Department, and is concerned with plant and insect parasitic nematodes.

Wikipedia Articles
- Foliar nematodes - Foliar nematodes are plant parasitic roundworms in the genus Aphelenchoides. The three most economically important species are Aphelenchoides fragariae, A.
- Paecilomyces - Paecilomyces is a nematophagous fungus which kills (harmful) nematodes by pathogenesis, or causing disease in the nematodes. Therefore the fungus can be used as a bio-nematicide to control nematodes by applying it to soil.
- Emodepside - Emodepside is an anthelmintic drug that is effective against a number of gastrointestinal nematodes, is licensed for use in cats (1) and belongs to the class of drugs known as the octadepsipeptides (2), a relatively new class of anthelmintic (research into these compounds began in the early 1990s) (3), which are suspected to achieve their anti-parasitic effect by a novel mechanism of action due to their ability to kill nematodes resistant to other anthelmintics (4).
- Macrofilaricide - A macrofilaricide is a chemotherapeutic compound that is active against filarial nematodes. Many nematodes are economically important parasites of human and animal.
- Root-knot nematode - Root-knot nematodes are plant-parasitic nematodes from the genus Meloidogyne. They exist in soil in areas with hot climates or short winters.
