Egg production by the mermithid nematode Strelkovimermis spiculatus, a parasite of mosquitoes, was examined over a period of 34 days. Oviposition did not occur in the absence of males. Egg production was best when males were continuously present (6.4 x 10(3) +/- 0.9 x 10(3) eggs/female). Fewer eggs were produced when males were removed after 7 days (2.8 x 10(3) +/- 0.2 x 10(3) eggs/female) and oviposition partially recovered after males were returned 11 days later (4.4 x 10(3) +/- 0.5 x 10(3) eggs/female). The nematodes deposited substantially more eggs in sand (6.4 x 10(3) +/- 0.9 x 10(3)/female) than in water (1.9 x 10(3) +/- 0.3 x 10(3)/(female).
对寄生在蚊子体内的索氏链尾丝虫（Strelkovimermis spiculatus）这种索科线虫的产卵情况进行了为期34天的观察。在没有雄虫的情况下不产卵。当雄虫一直存在时产卵量最佳（6.4×10³±0.9×10³个卵/雌虫）。若雄虫在7天后被移除，则产卵量减少（2.8×10³±0.2×10³个卵/雌虫），而在11天后雄虫重新放回时产卵量部分恢复（4.4×10³±0.5×10³个卵/雌虫）。线虫在沙子中（6.4×10³±0.9×10³个/雌虫）产下的卵比在水中（1.9×10³±0.3×10³个/雌虫）多得多。
