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.
