Evolution of parasitism-related traits in nematodes

2025-09-27

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> The abundant resources provided by the host provide an evolutionary rationale for parasitism and drive the metabolic and developmental divergence of parasitic and free-living animals. Two evolutionarily distant nematode genera, Steinernema and Heterorhabditis , independently evolved an entomopathogenic lifestyle, in which they invade insects and kill them with the assistance of specifically ass...
