Annotation	Nematodes complete their life cycle feeding on the proliferating pathogenic bacteria symbiont and the host tissue. After 1-2 weeks, new infective stages carrying the bacteria leave the host cadaver in search of new hosts. The removal of invertebrate cadavers by scavengers is extremely fast and represents a severe threat to the developing nematodes. We demonstrate that the presence of either of two nematode species tested (Steinernema affine, Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita) deters carabid beetles from consuming infected cadavers.
