Admitting up front to not having read the article yet.
That's terrifying. What plague are we about to unleash from the depths of the permafrost as more of it melts? Gonna read the article later today when I get a chance. If anyone feels like correcting me in the meantime, feel free. Lol.
From the expert quoted in the article: “it very well could be a commonly occurring nematode that no one got around to describing yet.”
