An Entomopathogenic Nematode by Any Other Name.

The authors provide information on entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs). They clarify the meaning of entomopathogenic in nematology, along with the nematode-arthropod associations. They argue that EPN must rapidly kill their hosts with the help of bacterial partners in order to create future generations. The authors also discuss the history, specialization and classification of EPNs.
