An Entomopathogenic Nematode Extends Its Niche by Associating with Different Symbionts

. . Maher AMD, Asaiyah MAM, Brophy C, Griffin CT. . Microb Ecol. 2017 Jan;73(1):211-223. doi: 10.1007/s00248-016-0829-2. Epub 2016 Aug 20. Abstract Bacterial symbionts are increasingly recognised as mediators of ecologically important traits of their animal hosts, with acquisition of new traits possible by uptake of novel symbionts. The entomopathogenic nematode Heterorhabditis downesi associates with …
