LIFE CYCLE AND PARATENESIS OF AMERICAN GORDIIDS (NEMATOMORPHA: GORDIIDA)
To complete their life cycle, gordiids must make a transition from aquatic to terrestrial environments. However, epibenthic aquatic larvae and their terrestrial definitive hosts do not overlap in habitat. This has led many investigators to suggest that infections are acquired through the ingestion of insects, which become infected as aquatic larvae ...

Sensitivity of preparasitic stages of Chordodes nobilii (Gordiida, Nematomorpha) to malathion
The largest part of the life cycle of Gordiida, known as horsehair worms, occurs in aquatic environments usually affected by agricultural activities. The free-living adults reproduce in freshwater environments, where preparasitic larvae undergo development. Since malathion is an insecticide used in the distribution area of Chordodes nobilii, the aim of
