Caenorhabditis sp. 9
Caenorhabditis nigoni is a species of nematodes in the genus Caenorhabditis. Prior to 2014, it was referred to as C. sp. 9
Isolates come from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Kerala, India.
It is a sister species of C. briggsae allowing studies of hybrid incompatibility in nematodes.
The specific epithet is a tribute to Victor Nigon who was first studied the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans in the laboratory with Ellsworth Dougherty in the 1940s.
