C.elegans motion assay adapted for use in anthelminth studies

A paper called Utilization of computer processed high definition video imaging for measuring motility of microscopic nematode stages on a quantitative scale: “The Worminator” was published by Bob Storey et al in the International Journal for Parasitology.

It describes a modification of the WormAssay software, a tool for motility studies in C.elegans.

These additions allow the analysis of the motility in microscopic lifestages, as found in parasitic nematodes, enabling new ways in automating anthelminth screens.
