Distribution
In June 1980 E. kamerunicus were imported from Cameroon to Malaysia.[4] They were needed to pollinate Elaeis guineensis, which until then had been inadequately pollinated by whatever native insects were around.[4] The pupae were found to be severely infested with A. bicaudatus and so were treated until nematode-free before being released.[4]
It occurs commonly as a soil organism in New South Wales.[3]
A. bicaudatus is also found in: Libya,[2] China,[2] India,[2] and Brazil.[2]

Protein expression
A. bicaudatus may be distinguished from other Aphelenchoides and Ditylenchus angustus and D. myceliophagus by some of their α- and β-esterase banding and protein patterns - while some are common between various pairs of those taxa.[5][6]
