ABSTRACT
The Mermithidae is a family of nematodes parasitic in many kinds of insects, spiders, leeches, crustaceans and other invertebrates throughout the world. While conducting an assay with entomopathogenic nematodes, we found Armadillidium vulgare (Crustacea Isopoda) individuals to be infected with Agamermis sp., marking the fourth known discovery of a mermithid infection in the order Isopoda. In this work, we contribute with an 18S rDNA sequence of the isolated nematode and the morphological and morphometrical characterization of the juveniles.
