Entomopathogenic Nematodes (Nematoda: Rhabditida: families Steinernematidae and Heterorhabditidae)
EDIS, 2012 Entomopathogenic nematodes are soft bodied, non-segmented roundworms that are obligate or sometimes facultative parasites of insects. They occur naturally in soil environments and locate their host in response to carbon dioxide, vibration, and other ...

Storage Capacity of Entomopathogenic Nematodes in Barricade® Gel and Potassium Polyacrylate Hydrogel [PDF]
Journal of NematologyEntomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) used as biocontrol agents are sensitive to ultraviolet (UV) light, high temperature, and desiccation. Thus, formulations have been developed to protect EPNs during application.

Variability study of entomopathogenic nematode populations (Heterorhabditidae) from Argentina [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2016 Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) belonging to the Heterorhabditidae family are lethal parasites of soil-dwelling insects. Two species were reported in Argentina: Heterorhabditis argentinensis and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora characterized mainly by ...

Soil Sampling and Isolation of Entomopathogenic Nematodes (Steinernematidae, Heterorhabditidae) [PDF]
Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2014 Entomopathogenic nematodes (a.k.a. EPN) represent a group of soil-inhabiting nematodes that parasitize a wide range of insects. These nematodes belong to two families: Steinernematidae and Heterorhabditidae. Until now, more than 70 species have been described in the Steinernematidae and there are about 20 species in the Heterorhabditidae. The nematodes

The evolution of entomopathogeny in nematodes [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionUnderstanding how parasites evolved is crucial to understand the host and parasite interaction. The evolution of entomopathogenesis in rhabditid nematodes has traditionally been thought to have occurred twice within the phylum Nematoda: in ...

First report of the genus Heterorhabditis (Nematoda: Heterorhabditidae) from continental Portugal [PDF]
Helminthologia, 2009 Abstract Until recently, the only entomopathogenic nematode (EPN) species reported from continental Portugal, was of the genus Steinernema. Following a national survey of EPNs in continental Portugal, several natural and managed habitats have been surveyed in the southern part of the country.
