[1] Morphological features include lips with setose papillae, large amphid apertures, and a mobile claw-like tooth.

[3] The tails of both the male and female are filiform[3] M. fortidens prefers small, slow moving prey.

[6] M. fortidens is a reasonable choice for bio-control due to its short life cycle and easy culturability.

[7] M. fortidens was used in experiments investigating their potential as a bio-control for the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne arenaria in tomato.

[1] Khan and Kim[1] found that the final population of M. arenaria decreased exponentially with increasing application densities of M. fortidens.
