The entomopathogenic nematode Heterorhabditis megidis: host searching behaviour, infectivity and reproduction [PDF]
, 2001 Entomopathogenic nematodes in the families Heterorhabditidae and Steinernematidae have considerable potential as biological control agents of soil-inhabiting insect pests.

The evolution of entomopathogeny in nematodes
Ecology and EvolutionUnderstanding how parasites evolved is crucial to understand the host and parasite interaction. The evolution of entomopathogenesis in rhabditid nematodes has traditionally been thought to have occurred twice within the phylum Nematoda: in ...

Mechanism of threonine ADP-ribosylation of F-actin by a Tc toxin
Nature Communications, 2022 Entomopathogenic bacteria used for pest control secrete potent Tc toxins. Here, the authors combine biochemistry, solution and solid-state NMR spectroscopy and cryo-EM to show in atomic detail how the toxin disrupts the host cell cytoskeleton and kills ...

Intestinal regeneration as an insect resistance mechanism to entomopathogenic bacteria. [PDF]
Curr Opin Insect Sci, 2016 The intestinal epithelium of insects is exposed to xenobiotics and entomopathogens during the feeding developmental stages. In these conditions, an effective enterocyte turnover mechanism is highly desirable to maintain integrity of the gut epithelial wall.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Two virulence strategies in Beauveria: a growth strategy characterized by rapid within‐host proliferation, and a toxin strategy involving antimicrobial activity and toxicity to insects Abstract BACKGROUND Pathogen virulence is often attributed to toxin production, yet toxins are metabolically costly and may not universally enhance fitness.

Insecticidal Effect of Entomopathogenic Nematodes and the Cell-Free Supernatant from Their Symbiotic Bacteria against Philaenus spumarius (Hemiptera: Aphrophoridae) Nymphs [PDF]
, 2021 This article belongs to the Special Issue Entomopathogenic Nematodes: Lethal Parasites of Insects.[Simple Summary] The disease caused by Xylella fastidiosa affects economically relevant crops such as olives, almonds, and grapevine.

New reports on dixenic associations between the symbionts of entomopathogenic nematodes, Photorhabdus and Xenorhabdus, and non-symbiotic bacteria [PDF]
, 2017 By conducting three different methods, we report on the isolation of five novel strains of non-symbiotic bacteria from crushed infective juveniles (IJs) of four species of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) including Heterorhabditis bacteriophora ...

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty
Insect Science, EarlyView.Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.
