Nine species of mosquitoes and several species of non-target aquatic organisms were tested for susceptibility to the mernaithid nematode, Strelkovimermis spiculatus. All species of Anopheles, Aedes, Culex, and Toxorhynchites exposed to S. spiculatus were susceptible. Of the nine mosquito species tested, C. pipiens quinquefasciatus had the greatest tolerance to initial invasion and the highest percent infection of those that survived. High levels of infection were also achieved with Aedes taeniorhynchus and A. albopictus, but these mosquitoes were significantly less tolerant to parasitism than C. pipiens quinquefasciatus. Strelkovimermis spiculatus did not infect or develop in any of the non-target hosts tested.
对9种蚊子和几种非靶标水生生物进行了测试，以检测它们对默纳线虫属的斯氏斯特勒克线虫（Strelkovimermis spiculatus）的易感性。所有暴露于斯氏斯特勒克线虫的按蚊、伊蚊、库蚊和巨蚊属物种均易感。在测试的9种蚊子中，致倦库蚊对初始入侵的耐受性最强，在存活的蚊子中感染率最高。黄热病伊蚊和白纹伊蚊也有较高的感染率，但这些蚊子对寄生的耐受性明显低于致倦库蚊。斯氏斯特勒克线虫在任何测试的非靶标宿主中均未感染或发育。
