This review is intended to stimulate interest in the presently anecdotal association between mermithids and mayflies. A brief account of the biology of aquatic mermithids is followed by a review of the sparse information available on mermithid parasitism of mayflies. Finally, methods for rearing and preserving mermithids are given, so that the nematodes are in a condition useful for taxonomic purposes.
