Abstract: Single infective juveniles of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora, H. megidis (Nematoda: Heterorhabditidae), Steinernema arenarium, S. carpocapsae and S. feltiae (Nematoda: Steinernematidae) were used to infect single Galleria mellonella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) larvae. Four parameters of entomopathogenic nematodes pathogenicity… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10526-019-09945-1
Abstract: Large-scale use of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) (Rhabditida: Steinernematidae and Heterorhabditidae) as biological control agents is impaired by their short shelf life. Three local South African EPN species, including Steinernema yirgalemense, S. jeffreyense and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.apsoil.2017.08.018
Abstract: Abstract Previous research has documented patchy distributions of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) in the field, but more uniform distributions of EPNs could increase their biocontrol services in agroecosystems. Although laboratory studies have identified variation in foraging… read more here.
