Caenorhabditis elegans is a premier model organism upon which considerable knowledge
of basic cell and developmental biology has been built. Yet, as is true for many traditional …

We described an association between a strain of the nematode Caenorhabditis briggsae, ie
KT0001, and the bacteria Serratia sp. SCBI (South African Caenorhabditis briggsae isolate) …

Practically and ethically attractive as model systems, invertebrate organisms are
increasingly recognized as relevant for the study of bacterial pathogenesis. We show here …

Organisms evolve in response to their natural environment. Consideration of natural
ecological parameters are thus of key importance for our understanding of an organism's …

Two phylogenetically distinct groups of the entomopathogenic nematodes, Heterorhabditis
and Steinernema, are vectors for enteric insect pathogenic bacteria, Photorhabdus Boemare …

Abstract Background The genus Caenorhabditis has been central to our understanding of
metazoan biology. The best-known species, Caenorhabditis elegans, is but one member of …

Prokaryote–eukaryote interactions are ubiquitous and have important medical and
environmental significance. Despite this, a paucity of data exists on the mechanisms and …

Background Extensive research effort has advanced our understanding of Caenorhabditis
as a model system, but its natural association with bacteria remains to be explored in an …

The nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans, for which the complete genome sequence is
available, has several other advantages as an experimental system, and has already been …

In their Correspondence article, Rae and Sommer raise a number of interesting issues
concerning the findings we reported recently in The Journal of Experimental Biology (Abebe …
