Necromeny (Parasitology 🧬)

Necromeny is a symbiotic relationship where an animal infects a host and waits inside its body until its death, at which point it develops and completes its life-cycle on the cadaver, feeding on the decaying matter and the subsequent bacterial growth. As the necromenic animal benefits from the relationship while the host is unharmed, it is an example of commensal...

#Phoresy in #astigmatid #mites and nematodes of the #Rhabditida. From it derived many repeatedly & independently #parasitism or #necromeny, even clear patterns of #symbiosis. Different examples are presented in my homepage report, partly I refer on own papers, but focus on recently published papers by other authors.
