BIOLOGY OF ENTOMOPATHOGENIC NEMATODES HETERORHABDITIS SP. AND STEINERNEMA SPP.
Journal of Biopesticides, 2012 Nematodesassociated with insects are referred to as entomophagous nematodes.Entomopathogenic nematodes are highlypotential biocontrol agents for several lepidopteran and coleopteran insectpests. These nematodes are mutually symbiotic with the bacteria Xenorhabdus andPhotorhabdus spp. and the bacteria are responsible for the death of thehost.

The evolution of entomopathogeny in nematodes
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2024.Through convergent evolution, the entomopathogeny in nematodes is widespread within the Rhaditidae families, owing to the shared ecological and evolutionary attributes raised from saprophagy, phoresis, and necromeny. Abstract Understanding how parasites evolved is crucial to understand the host and parasite interaction.
