Physid Snails as Sentinels of Freshwater Nematomorphs [PDF]
Freshwater nematomorphs, or gordiids, are parasitic as larvae, but free-living in aquatic environments as adults. Studies based on the collection of adults have reported gordiids to be widespread, but discontinuous in distribution.

The proteome of most parasite species is currently unknown. Hairworms (Nematomorpha), 300 species distributed around the world, are parasitic in arthropods (mainly terrestrial species) when juveniles, but they are free-living in aquatic environments when adult. Most aspects of their systematics and biology are currently unknown.

Water-seeking behavior in worm-infected crickets and reversibility of parasitic manipulation [PDF]
One of the most fascinating examples of parasite-induced host manipulation is that of hairworms, first, because they induce a spectacular "suicide” water-seeking behavior in their terrestrial insect hosts and, second, because the emergence of the ...
