Are nematodes a missing link in the confounded ecology of the entomopathogen Bacillus thuringiensis ?

Highlights • The ecology of the insect pathogen Bacillus thuringiensis is heavily influenced by a complex association with nematodes. • The interaction of B. thuringiensis with nematodes follows three routes: phoresy, necromeny, and pathogenesis. • For B. thuringiensis , it is our opinion that the n...

Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • The ecology of the insect pathogen Bacillus thuringiensis is heavily influenced by a complex association with nematodes. • The interaction of B. thuringiensis with nematodes follows three routes: phoresy, necromeny, and pathogenesis. • For B. thuringiensis , it is our opinion that the nematode is an alternative dominant host.
