Abstract
The nematodes establish various and characteristic relationships with the insects; in particular the EPNs
belonging to the orders Mermithida, Rhabditida, Aphelenchida and Tylenchida, show interesting association with
exapods and some species are used in controlling insect pests. In particular the Steinernematidae and the
Heterorhabditidae that are widely widespread in nuinerous habitats in almost all continents, harbor in their gut sym-
biotic microorganisms pathogenic for many arthropod species.
