 Steinernema carpocapsae infective juvenile nematode. S. carpocapsae nematodes have one free-living stage of their life cycle, known as the infective juvenile (IJ). This stage of the nematode is soil-dwelling and non-feeding; it's sole purpose is to locate and infect a larval stage insect in which to reproduce. This stage of the nematode carries it's Xenorhabdus nematophilus symbiont bacterium in a specialized intestinal organ known as the vesicle. The nematode requires the bacterium to efficiently kill and reproduce inside insect hosts. |
