Steinernema-carpocapsae nematode excreted/secreted products (ESPs) alter the total number of hemocytes in Drosophila melanogaster. Oregon-R adult flies were divided into male and female groups and then injected with 3 ng of ESPs from S. carpocapsae nematodes or PBS as a control treatment. Hemocyte counts in (a) males and (b) females were evaluated three hours post-injection (*P < 0.01; One-way ANOVA).
