Local host-dependent persistence of the entomopathogenic nematode Steinernema carpocapsae used to control the large pine weevil Hylobius abietis [PDF]
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) applied inundatively to suppress insect pests are more likely to persist and establish in stable agroecosystems than in annual crops.

Comparative study of element contents in seven isolates of entomopathogenic nematodes
Little is known about element contents in the entomopathogenic nematodes despite their vital role in the growth and development of all organisms. Ten element contents of seven nematode isolates were determined. No significant differences were observed in

The lethal and sub-lethal consequences of entomopathogenic nematode infestation and exposure for adult pine weevils, Hylobius abietis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) [PDF]
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) frequently kill their host within 1–2 days, and interest in EPN focuses mainly on their lethality. However, insects may take longer to die, or may fail to die despite being infected, but little is known about the effects ...

Pathogenicity of the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne javanica on potato [PDF]
Host–parasite relationships and pathogenicity of Meloidogyne javanica on potatoes (newly recorded from Malta) were studied under glasshouse and natural conditions. Potato cvs Cara and Spunta showed a typical susceptible reaction to M. javanica under

Experimental infection of two species of beetles (Сoleoptera: Chrysomelidae; Buprestidae) by entomopathogenic nematode Steinernema carpocapsae (Weiser, 1955) (Rhabditida: Steinernematidae) [PDF]
The results of laboratory infection of Colorado potato beetle Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say, 1824) (larvae, imago) and Poecilonota variolosa Paykull, 1799 (imago) by entomopathogenic nematode S. carpocapsae (Weiser, 1955) are presented. Mortality of

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty
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.

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