Virulence test using nematodes to prescreen Nocardia species capable of inducing neurodegeneration and behavioral disorders

Background Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a disorder characterized by dopaminergic neuron programmed cell death. The etiology of PD remains uncertain—some cases are due to selected genes associated with familial heredity, others are due to environmental exposure to toxic components, but over 90% of cas...
