Existing Bonsai A To Z Entry for Eelworms Eelworms  - (Pests and Diseases) (No Photo) These are worms which inhibit growth by attacking plant roots.  There are several types :  Cyst eelworms : which pierce the roots creating galls which protect them.  Ectoparasitic eelworms : these may carry viral deseases resulting in yellowing of foliage from the base up.  Root-lesion eeelworms : these build nests which cause canker in the roots causing yellowing of foliage and possible fungal development. Treatment requires removal of yellowing leaves and spraying of remaining foliage with a parathion based wash, plus mixing nematicides with the soil which should be prevented from excess wetness.
