For thesis, I am looking for local species of entomopathogenic nematodes infecting mosquitoes. However, I'm not very sure where to look for them (natural infections) and it is very time consuming if I sample from every water body with wrigglers on it. Is there a habitat preference?

First thing nematodes infect mosquito is not pathogenic it is parasitic . Yes try the water body containing mosquito larvae collect mosquito larvae at the edges and the base of these water bodies not mud or selt but with big sand particles, water not with high organic matter content because they are sensitive.shallow water not too deep water is prefered to this nematodes
