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.

Temporal patterns of entomopathogenic nematodes in Florida citrus orchards: Evidence of natural regulation by microorganisms and nematode competitors

Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2019
The abundance of three entomopathogenic nematode (EPN) species, seven species of nematophagous fungi, free living nematode competitors of EPNs and a bacterial ectoparasite of EPNs were monitored during approximately two years in four Florida citrus ...

Isolation and growth inhibition potential of entomopathogenic nematodes against three public health important mosquito vectors.

Experimental parasitology, 2019
The prevalence of mosquito vector borne diseases and the resistance of mosquitoes to conventional pesticides have been of important public concern to the mosquito endemic countries.

Differentiating Between Scavengers and Entomopathogenic nematodes: Which is Oscheius chongmingensis?

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2019
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) continue to be explored for their potential usefulness in biological control and pest management programs. As more insect-associated species of nematodes are discovered and described, it is possible that scavengers and ...

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.
