Current Status of Entomophilic Nematode Survey in Japan

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Species Diversity of Animals in Japan

Part of the book series: Diversity and Commonality in Animals ((DCA))

Abstract

The phylum Nematoda, a group of microscopic roundworms, is one of the most divergent and abundant groups of animals. However, their biological diversity and species richness have not been understood sufficiently. Because all nematodes are semiaquatic animals requiring moisture for propagation, they often use other animals, especially insects, as a host and carrier, in terrestrial environments. These insect-associated forms are generally termed ‘entomophilic nematodes.’ In this present chapter, the diversity of biological features of the entomophilic nematodes found in the Japanese Islands is introduced and compared with previous studies conducted in American and European regions.
