Single worm reverse-transcriptase (RT) PCR

Dear colleagues,
I'm advised that putative positives from RNA-interference (RNAi) experiments (using feeding strains from Geneservice {Fraser et al [2000]. Nature 408 (6810) 325-30}) can be checked by RT-PCR. This requires reverse transcriptase reaction on single worms.
Single worm PCR lysis buffer doesn't seem amenable to reverse transcriptase reaction {?}
Does anyone have a method/protocol for single worm RT-PCR ?
G. Joshua.
