Fast, automated measurement of nematode swimming (thrashing) without morphometry.

BMC neuroscience - 20 Jul 2009

Buckingham Steven D, Sattelle David B

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The "thrashing assay", in which nematodes are placed in liquid and the frequency of lateral swimming ("thrashing") movements estimated, is a well-established method for measuring motility in the genetic model organism Caenorhabditis elegans as well as in parasitic nematodes. It is used as an index of the effects of drugs, chemicals or mutations on motility and has proved useful in identifying mutants...
