Advance of entomopathogenic nematodes

Journal of Forestry Research, 2001
This paper summarized the history and present condition of studying and utilizing entomopathogenic nematodes at home and abroad, expounded its taxonomy, life cycle and the mechanism with symbiotic bacteria killing host insect. Taxonomy, mycelial form, pathogenic function and anti-bacteria function of symbiotic bacteria were introduced.

Culturing and Genetically Manipulating Entomopathogenic Nematodes

Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2022
Entomopathogenic nematodes in the genera Heterorhabditis and Steinernema are obligate parasites of insects that live in the soil. The main characteristic of their life cycle is the mutualistic association with the bacteria Photorhabdus and Xenorhabdus, respectively.

Entomopathogenic nematode dispensing robot: NEMABOT

Expert Systems with Applications, 2021
Abstract Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) are obligate endoparasites of many insect species and they are important biocontrol agents. Application strategies that improve precision and reduce labor would increase their potential in many cropping systems. We developed a unique robotic system to apply EPNs to a surface area precisely. The robotic system

Survival mechanism of entomopathogenic nematodes

2016 International Congress of Entomology, 1996
Entomopathogenic nematodes (Steinernematidae and Heterorhabditidae) are isolated from a wide variety of ecosystems ranging from sub-Arctic to arid and tropical climates. It is expected that natural populations of these nematodes will be pre-adapted to specific ecological conditions in their environments.

Entomopathogenic Nematodes

2011
The nematodes establish various and characteristic relationships with the insects; in particular the EPNs belonging to the orders Mermithida, Rhabditida, Aphelenchida and Tylenchida, show interesting association with exapods and some species are used in controlling insect pests.

Compatibility of entomopathogenic nematodes with fipronil

Journal of Helminthology, 2005
AbstractThe survival and infectivity of infective juveniles (IJs) of three species of entomopathogenic nematodes, Steinernema carpocapsae Weiser, S. arenarium (Artyukhovsky) (Rhabditida: Steinernematidae) and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Poinar (Rhabditida: Heterorhabditidae), were determined after exposure to different concentrations (250, 500, 1000 ...

Entomopathogenic Nematode Application Technology

2015
Biocontrol success when using entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) in the genera Heterorhabditis and Steinernema relies on a variety of factors including components of the application event itself. Successful application encompasses both abiotic and biotic influences (Grewal, 2002; Shapiro-Ilan, Gouge, & Koppenhofer, 2002; Shapiro-Ilan, Gouge, Piggott ...

Formulation of Entomopathogenic Nematode-Infected Cadavers

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2001
Entomopathogenic nematodes are commercially applied in aqueous suspension. These biocontrol agents may also be applied in nematode-infected insect cadavers, but this approach may entail problems in storage and ease of handling. We determined the feasibility of formulating nematode-infected insect cadavers to overcome these hindrances.

Formulation of Entomopathogenic Nematodes

1998
Entomopathogenic nematodes in the families Steinernematidae and Heterorhabditidae have been known since 1929 and 1975, respectively (Glaser and Fox, 1930; Poinar, 1975; Gaugler and Kaya, 1990), but they became commercially available only during the past decade (Georgis, 1992).

Biodiversity of entomopathogenic nematodes in Italy

Journal of Helminthology, 2014
AbstractAn investigation was carried out on the distribution and biodiversity of steinernematid and heterorhabdtid entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) in nine regions of Italy in the period 1990–2010. More than 2000 samples were collected from 580 localities and 133 of them yielded EPN specimens.
