This class focuses on various natural enemies of nematodes, including Dreschmeria coniospora with sticky hyphae and spores, sticky networks, and spore adherence mechanisms like constricting rings. Learn about Pasteuria penetrans, a host-specific bacterial parasite, and predators like Odontopharynx and Mononchidae mites. Discover how these organisms combat nematodes through spores, hyphae, and predatory behaviors.
