The evolution of entomopathogeny in nematodes
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.
