"Killer worms: exploiting entomopathogenic nematodes' evolutionary strategies for human ends (and interests) "

by

Dr Christine Griffin, Biology Department, NUI Maynooth

Thursday, November 10th, 1.00 p.m. in the Martin Ryan Institute, Annex Building, MRA 201, First Floor.

Abstract
Entomopathogenic nematodes - nematode-bacterial symbioses that kill and multiply in insects- occur widely in nature and are also used as biological pest control agents. Understanding the nematodes' foraging and infection strategies, and their association with bacterial symbionts, can contribute to improving their efficacy as biocontrol agents, while exploring unusal aspects of their sex life raises broader questions about the cost of sperm.
