Caenorhabditis remanei is a species of nematode found in North America and Europe, and likely lives throughout the temperate world. Several strains have been developed in the laboratory.[1]
This 1-mm nematode lives in soil, compost, and similar materials, where it consumes bacteria. It may be found in association with soil-living invertebrates such as snails, slugs, and pill bugs.[1] It lives with the snail Fruticicola sieboldiana in Japan. It has been associated with the isopods Trachelipus rathkii, Armadillidium nasatum, Cylisticus convexus, and Porcellio scaber in Ohio.[2]
