All of the work that I have been able to discover was done with plant parasitic nematodes, and to my knowledge no one has done any studies in C. elegans. Our lab is working on this this compound, and I'm trying to find out what might be known about this nematocide and its biological targets. Some information is available from studies on mosquito larvae, but that is all I have found so far. I'd appreciate any leads! Thanks, Michele Arduengo pma001@alpha.morningside.edu ******************************************************** P.
