Pheromones and their role in EPN emergence. (A) Structure of ascaroside pheromones found in EPN infected insect host cadavers. Asrc#9 and ascr#11 are identified as part of the pheromone mix responsible for causing the exit of IJs from the consumed insect host cadavers or exodus pheromone signal (B) Consumed insect host cadaver with emerging S. carpocapsae IJs. (C) Consumed insect host cadaver with dispersing S. feltiae IJs. Image courtesy of Pheronym.
