Mermis Nigrescens
''Mermis nigrescens'' is a species of nematode known commonly as the grasshopper nematode.Capinera, JGrasshopper nematode, ''Mermis nigrescens''.EENY-500. University of Florida, IFAS. 2011.Cranshaw, WColorado State University Extension. 2008. Revised 2013. It is distributed in the Americas, Europe, and Asia. It occurs in Tasmania, but it has not been observed on mainland Australia. It has been rarely observed in Africa. It is a parasite of insects, especially grasshoppers. Description This is a very large nematode, the male about 4 to 6 centimetres long and the female known to exceed 20 centimetres.''Mermis nigrescens''. Nematology. University of Nebraska, Lincoln. The size is unusual for entomopathogenic nematodes, which are generally almost microscopic. The body is pale brown, and the |
Mermithidae
Mermithidae is a family of nematode worms that are endoparasites in arthropods. As early as 1877, Mermithidae was listed as one of nine subdivisions of the Nematoidea. Mermithidae are confused with the horsehair worms of the phylum Nematomorpha that have a similar life history and appearance. Mermithids are parasites, mainly of arthropods. Most are known from insects, but some are recorded from spiders, scorpions and crustaceans. A few are known to parasitize earthworms, leeches and molluscs, and a specimen is known from a spider preserved in Baltic amber. At least 25 species are known to parasitize mosquito larvae, making them of considerable interest in biological control. A species, probably '' Pheromermis vesparum'', was recorded from the invasive Asian hornet (''Vespa velutina'') in France. The parasite was considered to be a member of the local fauna which had adapted to a new host. However, the authors concluded that the mermithid could not hamper the hornet invasion no ...
