Ecological characterisation of the Colombian entomopathogenic nematode Heterorhabditis sp. SL0708 [PDF]
The entomopathogenic nematode Heterorhabditis sp. SL0708 (Rhabditida: Heterorhabditidae) isolated from soil in Alcalá, Valle del Cauca (Colombia) was characterised ecologically using Galleria mellonella larvae (L) (Pyralidae: Galleriinae) as hosts.

Species of the nematode genus Heterorhabditis are important biological control agents against agricultural pests. The taxonomy of this group is still unclear as it currently relies on phylogenetic reconstructions based on a few genetic markers with ...

NATIVE ENTOMOPATHOGENIC NEMATODES IN THE CULTIVATION OF PRICKLY PEAR IN MILPA ALTA, MEXICO
Background. Entomopathogenic nematodes (NEP) are found in all ecosystems. Currently, they are one of the most studied ecological alternatives for the biological control of insect pests.

Phased activity in Heterorhabditis megidis infective juveniles [PDF]
The infectivity of Heterorhabditis megidis infective juveniles (IJs) increases during storage in water. We investigated whether this change can be related to other features of the IJs' behaviour. IJs were stored in water for 4 weeks at 20 °C, and the following parameters were assessed at intervals: infectivity for Galleria mellonella, dispersal in sand,

New data on Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Poinar, 1976 from south eastern Iran [PDF]
During a survey on the entomopathogenic nematodes from Kerman province of Iran, three new populations of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora were recovered from natural areas. Description, measurement and illustration are provided for these isolates. Molecular

Fatty acid composition of Heterorhabditis sp. during storage [PDF]
The fatty acid composition of three North West European isolates of Heterorhabditis sp. from different geographical origins, UK211 (England), HF85 (The Netherlands) and EU17 (Estonia) was assessed directly after harvest and, for UK211 and HF85, after 5 weeks storage in water at 20 degrees C. Lipid represented 34-43% of the dry weight of fresh nematodes.
