Characterization of Xenorhabdus (γ-Proteobacteria) strains associated bacteria with the Steinernema (Nematoda: Steinernematidae) isolates from Iran [PDF]
The gram-negative bacterium Xenorhabdus is mutualistically associated with entomopathogenic nematode, Steinernema. Three bacterial strains were isolated from the entomopathogenic nematodes, Steinernema glaseri (Steiner) and S.

Black vine weevil and other wingless weevils: are there any effective conrol methods applicable in outdoor strawberry in Nordic countries? [PDF]
The black vine weevil (Otiorhynchus sulcatus) is a common pest in Central Europe but rather new on outdoor crops in Finland. Spreading of enthomopathogenic nematodes against weevils by drip irrigation was tested at MTT during 2003-2004.
