Extract

A simple but efficient apparatus for harvesting nematodes migrating from their insect hosts is described. Infected host larvae are supported, in contact with water, on a nematode-permeable diaphragm resting in the mouth of a large funnel. A battery of funnels can be connected in series and their water-level maintained by a common constant-level device.
