Taxonomic and molecular characterization of a new entomopathogenic nematode species, Heterorhabditis casmirica n. sp., and whole genome sequencing of its associated bacterial symbiont

Parasites and Vectors, 2023
Background Nematodes of the genus Heterorhabditis are important biocontrol agents as they form a lethal combination with their symbiotic Photorhabdus bacteria against agricultural insect pests.

Efficacy of entomopathogenic nematodes present in Việt Nam against brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys) under laboratory conditions [PDF]

Helminthologia
The brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys), a native of Asia, has become an invasive pest in North America and Europe. Given the severity of H. halys and the need for better and environmentally-friendly control methods for this pest, we evaluated

Heterorhabditis caligo n. sp. (Rhabditida: Heterorhabditidae): A New Entomopathogenic Nematode from Pichilemu Sand Dunes, Chile [PDF]

Journal of Nematology
During a survey of the nematode biodiversity in the Petrel wetland (central Chile), a population of Heterorhabditis sp. was found in the coastal dune samples. Morphological, morphometric, and molecular studies indicated that this nematode belonged to the

Isolation, identification of entomopathogenic nematodes with insights into their distribution in the Syrian coast regions and virulence against Tuta absoluta

Journal of Nematology, 2023
The occurrence and distribution of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) in the Syrian coast regions remain relatively uncharted. To address this gap in our knowledge, an extensive survey of these ecosystems was essential.
