Interesting! Studies have shown that nematodes also play a part in the fig and wasp relationship. Every fig pollinator wasp has its own nematode parasite and the balance is maintained such that parasite doesn't completely kill its host or other infected wasps. The parasite needs its host alive to propagate its progeny [from 'The Secret Life of Trees' by Colin Tudge. Thought I just mention this.
