Allantonematidae
Allantonematidae is a family of insect-parasitic nematodes from the order Tylenchida. Allantonematid nematodes infect a variety of insects including beetles, butterflies, flies, thrips, ants, and more. For instance, the nematode ''Howardula aoronymphium'' parasitizes mushroom-feeding fruit flies, '' Formicitylenchus oregonensis'' parasitizes carpenter ants, and ''Metaparasitylenchus hypothenemi'' parasitizes a pest of coffee beans, the coffee berry borer. Allantonematid nematodes infect insect larvae by piercing through the cuticle, after which they reside in the insect blood. There they develop through multiple juvenile stages before being shed out the anus or reproductive tracts. Mating typically occurs external to the insect host, after which mated female nematodes infect new hosts. Systematics There are 2 subfamilies of Allantonematids that contain about 150 species in at least 16 genera. These include: *Subfamily ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** * Subfamily ...

Metaparasitylenchus Hypothenemi
''Metaparasitylenchus hypothenemi'' (Nematoda: Allantonematidae) is a free-living nematode parasite that infects coffee berry borers (''Hypothenemus hampei''), small beetles that harm coffee crops worldwide. This nematode has been shown to interfere with the parasitic activity of the coffee berry borer by increasing the mortality of its progeny.Jaramillo J, Borgemeister C, Baker P (2006) Coffee berry borer ''Hypothenemus hampei'' (Coleoptera: Curculionidae): searching for sustainable control strategies.

Howardula Aoronymphium
''Howardula aoronymphium'' is a species of nematode that infects specialist mushroom-feeding fruit flies such as ''Drosophila falleni'' and ''Drosophila neotestacea''. Mated female nematodes pierce the fly larva cuticle and take up residence in the hemolymph (insect blood) where they mature alongside the fly. When the adult fly ecloses, the nematode motherworm has reached full size and sheds juvenile nematodes into the hemolymph which are eventually excreted by either the fly anus or ovipositor. '' Howardula'' nematodes can severely impact fly egg development, as infection can effectively sterilize some species. ''Howardula aoronymphium'' are attracted to mushroom sites by cuing in on specific odourants that are common in rotting mushrooms. However the odourants that attract ''H. aoronymphium'' to mushrooms are different from the odours that attract its fly host '' D. falleni''. Yet when ''D. falleni'' are infected by ''H. aoronymphium'', their olfactory preferences differ. Infecte ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hypothenemus Hampei
''Hypothenemus hampei'', the coffee berry borer or coffee borer beetle, is a small beetle native to Africa. It is among the most harmful pests to coffee crops across the world where coffee is cultivated. Spanish common names of the insect include ''barrenador del café'', ''gorgojo del café'', and ''broca del café''. Description Females have two larval stages and males only one. They have strong mandibles, and their larval phase lasts 10 to 26 days. The adults are small black beetles. Females are 1.4–1.8 mm long. The males are 1.2–1.6 mm long. Female beetles can fly short distances; males have rudimentary wings. ''H. hampei'' is confused sometimes with the false coffee berry borer ('' H. obscurus'' or '' H. seriatus'') and '' Xylosandrus'' (Scolytidae), but these species do not enter the coffee bean endosperm. Life cycle The maturation of the insect (from egg to adult) lasts between 24 and 45 days, varying according to the weather. Usually, the female drills ...

Howardula
''Howardula'' is a genus of nematode that infests the larvae of mushroom-feeding flies, beetles, and other insects. Various ''Howardula'' species and strains infest mushroom-feeding Drosophila, including ''Howardula aoronymphium'' and '' Howardula neocosmis''. '' Howardula husseyi'' can infest the mushroom phorid ''Megaselia halterata''. Life cycle The life cycle of ''Howardula'' nematodes begins inside the host fly, where infective juvenile nematodes are released by either the fly anus or ovipositor onto mushrooms. There, the juvenile nematodes mature and mate. Mated females will then pierce the cuticle of a fly larva using a specialized stylet, and enter the fly hemolymph (insect blood) where the nematode resides. Over the course of the fly host's metamorphosis, the female nematode matures into an adult stage called the motherworm. After the adult fly emerges from its pupa, the motherworm begins releasing juvenile nematodes directly into the hemocoel, renewing the cycle. Other ...

Nematoda
The nematodes ( or grc-gre, Νηματώδη; la, Nematoda) or roundworms constitute the phylum Nematoda (also called Nemathelminthes), with plant-parasitic nematodes also known as eelworms. They are a diverse animal phylum inhabiting a broad range of environments. Less formally, they are categorized as Helminths, but are taxonomically classified along with arthropods, tardigrades and other moulting animals in the clade Ecdysozoa, and unlike flatworms, have tubular digestive systems with openings at both ends. Like tardigrades, they have a reduced number of Hox genes, but their sister phylum Nematomorpha has kept the ancestral protostome Hox genotype, which shows that the reduction has occurred within the nematode phylum. Nematode species can be difficult to distinguish from one another. Consequently, estimates of the number of nematode species described to date vary by author and may change rapidly over time.
