Unlike most other actinic keratosis medications, Solaraze is generally not overly harsh to the skin. Diclofenac, the active ingredient in Solaraze Gel, belongs to a group of medications called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
The nematodes (/ËnÉmÉtoÊdz/) or roundworms constitute the phylum Nematoda. They are a diverse animal phylum inhabiting a broad range of environments. Nematode species can be difficult to distinguish, and although over 25,000 have been described, of which more than half are parasitic, the total number of nematode species has been estimated to be about 1 million.
The nematodes can also be a secondary invader of dead or dying trees when they enter the wood when the sawyer beetle is ovipositing (Figure 10). In these cases, the cause of the tree death may not be the pine wood nematode or pine wilt. There is evidence that the nematode exists naturally independent of the disease. These populations of the nematode serve as reservoirs of the nematode for later dispersal by sawyer beetles.
