First report of an entomopathogenic nematode from continental Portugal [PDF]

, 2007
In continental Portugal no information is available concerning the occurrence of entomopathogenic nematodes. During a survey in several different habitats from the southern regions of the country, several isolates where identified as Steinernema feltiae.

Pheromone extracts act as boosters for entomopathogenic nematodes efficacy.

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2019
Inconsistency in entomopathogenic nematode (EPN) efficacy is still one of the biggest challenges for the wider adoption of EPNs as biocontrol agents. Previous studies demonstrated that extracts from EPN-infected hosts enhance dispersal and efficacy, two ...

Spectral Characterization of the Life Stages and Physiological Responses of Diatraea saccharalis Fabricius (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) Larvae Parasitized by Cotesia flavipes Cameron (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 5, Page 436-452, May 2026.
Hyperspectral proximal sensing was used to characterize the life stages and physiological responses of Diatraea saccharalis and to detect parasitism by Cotesia flavipes. Distinct spectral signatures differentiated eggs, larval instars, pupae, and adults, as well as live, dead, and parasitized larvae.

A new entomopathogenic nematode species and its association with a facultative necromenic nematode

Helminthologia
This is the report of mixed infection of an entomopathogenic nematode and a free-living bacteriophage nematode both invading Galleria mellonella larvae, apparently showing strong intraguild competition.

Towards optimization of entomopathogenic nematodes for more service in the biological control of insect pests

, 2019
Cost and reliability have hindered entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) from realizing their full market size. Research approaches continually evolve in response to these issues.

Protecting maize from rootworm damage with the combined application of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, Pseudomonas bacteria and entomopathogenic nematodes

Scientific Reports, 2019
Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte, the western corn rootworm (WCR), is the most destructive pest of maize in North America, and has recently spread across central Europe.

Genetic Variation in Chemical Defence Affects Protection of an Herbivorous Insect Against Predation

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 9, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Genetic variation contributes to intraspecific differences in the chemical defence in many insect species, yet the underlying genetic mechanisms remain poorly understood. The horseradish flea beetle, Phyllotreta armoraciae, sequesters glucosinolates from its horseradish host plant and activates them using endogenous myrosinase enzymes.

Effectiveness of entomopathogenic nematodes in the control of Cydia pomonella larvae in Northern Italy [PDF]

, 2008
Since 2006, a large scale research on the effectiveness of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) in the control of codling moth (CM), Cydia pomonella, overwintering larvae has been performed on about 35 ha of pear orchards per year in Emilia-Romagna ...

Host seeking parasitic nematodes use specific odors to assess host resources. [PDF]

, 2017
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are insect parasites used as biological control agents. Free-living infective juveniles (IJs) of EPNs employ host-seeking behaviors to locate suitable hosts for infection.
