The nematode moves through pores in the soil, and finds a root to feed on. It inserts its stylet into an epidermal cell on the plant, feeds for a certain amount of time, then moves along to a different locations, and feeds on a different root.

A general life cycle of entomopathogenic nematodes. [2] Steinernema carpocapsae is categorized as an entomopathogenic nematode, which is a specialized subgroup of insect-parasitic nematodes. [3] [4] The infective juvenile stage (IJ) is a modified third stage larva and is the only free-living stage of this nematode. It is a developmentally ...
After infection, the nematodes move throughout the plant tissue producing a pectinase enzyme, which causes cell degeneration and is the main causal agent of the rot observed. [1] The soil plays only a secondary role in the transfer of this nematode. [2] The life cycle of Ditylenchus destructor lasts approximately 6 days. [3]
The life cycle of a typical trematode begins with an egg. Some trematode eggs hatch directly in the environment (water), while others are eaten and hatched within a host, typically a mollusc. The hatchling is called a miracidium, a free-swimming, ciliated larva. Miracidia will then grow and develop within the intermediate host into a sac-like ...
These nematodes have the general nematode life cycle with four juvenile stages keeping their vermiform shape throughout the entire life cycle except the egg stage. Any of the stages, except the egg and J1 which molts inside the egg, can infect the root.
The mycophagous phase of the life cycle takes place in dead or dying wood, where the nematodes live and feed upon fungi, rather than the wood itself. The nematode cannot travel outside of the wood independently; it must be transported by an insect vector. B. xylophilus has the shortest life cycle of any known parasitic nematode. In laboratory ...

Under drought conditions the nematode can persist up to two years outside a host by entering an anhydrobiotic state. [4] The life cycle is 17 to 29 days long. [6] The juvenile molts once while still inside the egg. [11] The eggs hatch in 8 to 10 days. The juvenile molts three times to reach the immature stage. [11]
