For example, in George O. Poinar Jr's 1990 book on Nematodes and Biological Control, he describes Heterorhabditis, a genus of nematodes that harbors symbiotic bacteria that are highly pathogenic to hosts, but completely harmless to them. After the bacteria kill the host, they proliferate on the host's dead body.
Free-living worm species do not live on land but instead live in marine or freshwater environments or underground by burrowing.

The name stems from the Old English ...
