Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Xiphinema diversicaudatum is an amphimictic ectoparasitic nematode species.[1] This species has a characteristically long stylet capable of penetrating into a host's vascular tissue.[2] They have a wide host range with some of the extensively studied ones being strawberry, hops and raspberry, due to their economic importance.[3] The direct root damage caused through penetration near the root tip and formation of galls is a secondary concern when compared with the damage caused by vectoring the Arabis mosaic virus. The virus attaches to the interior cuticle lining and can be transferred from infected to uninfected root tissue as the nematode feeds and sheds.[4] Management of this particular nematode relies on nematicides such as 1,3-Dichloropropene (Telone) at 40 gpa.or methyl bromide at 1000 lb/ac to control to 28 in deep.[2]
