iso‐Fatty Acid Metabolism in Caenorhabditis elegans’ Ceramide Biosynthesis

Helvetica Chimica Acta, Volume 106, Issue 11, November 2023., 2023
Abstract Ceramide biosynthesis and its connection to iso‐fatty acid metabolism in the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans was investigated using a combination of reverse genetics and comparative ESI‐(+)‐HR‐MSe ceramide profiling along with incorporation experiments with bacterial mutants specifically enriched with isotopically labeled branched‐chain ...

Comparative dispersal and larvicidal activity of exotic and Azorean isolates of entomopathogenic nematodes against Popillia japonica (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2001
The Japanese beetle, Popillia japonica Newman, is an introduced pest on Terceira, one of nine islands in the Azorean Archipelago. Research conducted on Terceira indicates that entomopathogenic nematodes in the families Steinernematidae and ...

Diversity of Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus spp. and their symbiotic entomopathogenic nematodes from Thailand [PDF]

, 2012
Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus spp. are bacterial symbionts of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs). In this study, we isolated and characterized Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus spp.

Thirty years of slug control using the parasitic nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita and beyond

Pest Management Science, Volume 79, Issue 10, Page 3408-3424, October 2023., 2023
The nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita is a parasite of slugs and snails and has been formulated into a biological control agent for use across northern Europe since 1994. Here, we review all research on P. hermaphrodita that has been carried out over the last 30 years and suggest future priorities.

Susceptibility of Chironomus plumosus larvae (Diptera: Chironomidae) to entomopathogenic nematodes (Rhabditida: Steinernematidae and Heterorhabditidae): Potential for control

European Journal of Entomology, 2017
Chironomidae, or non-biting midges, are found worldwide in a wide variety of aquatic habitats. During periods of mass adult eclosion they can become a nuisance and health hazard. Current control methods target the aquatic larval stage and include the use

Evaluation of chemical and microbial control options for Pangaeus bilineatus (Say) (Hemiptera: Cydnidae) infesting peanut crop

Pest Management Science, Volume 78, Issue 11, Page 4719-4727, November 2022., 2022
When integrating microbials with chemical insecticides against Pangaeus bilineatus, the interaction between Steinernema carposcasae and imidacloprid was synergistic or additive. Imidacloprid did not negatively impact the reproduction of S. carposcapsae.

Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (Poinar) - the first member from Heterorhabditidae family in Slovenia

Acta Agriculturae Slovenica, 2009
In August 2008, we examined 95 soil samples for the occurrence of entomopathogenic nematodes in eastern part of Slovenia. 11 samples from 9 different locations were positive to entomopathogenic nematodes, but to this time only sample D54 was analysed ...

Entomopathogenic nematode (Heterorhabditidae and Steinernematidae) spatial distribution in turfgrass

Parasitology, 1996
SUMMARYUnderstanding the temporal and spatial distribution of entomopathogenic nematodes is essential for determining the role of these insect parasites in soil communities and ultimately for their use in suppression of pest insect populations. We measured the vertical and horizontal distribution of endemic populations of entomopathogenic nematodes ...
