Variability study of entomopathogenic nematode populations (Heterorhabditidae) from Argentina

Brazilian Journal of Biology
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 ...

Draft Genome Sequences for Five Photorhabdus Bacterial Symbionts of Entomopathogenic Heterorhabditis Nematodes Isolated from India

Microbiology Resource Announcements, 2019
Photorhabdus bacteria exhibit contrasting lifestyles; they are virulent insect pathogens but symbionts of the entomopathogenic Heterorhabditis nematodes. Photorhabdus genomes encode several secondary metabolites and insecticidal protein toxins.

Serratia spp. bacteria evolved in Aotearoa‐New Zealand for infection of endemic scarab beetles

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 52, Issue 2, Page 121-143, June 2025.
ABSTRACT The Melolonthinae branch of the beetle family Scarabaeidae has evolved in isolation in Aotearoa, radiating into >100 endemic species, since Aotearoa separated from Gondwanaland 82 million years ago. The group includes important pasture pests, such as the New Zealand grass grub Costelytra giveni and the manuka beetle Pyronota festiva.

A New Species of Heterorhabditis from the Hawaiian Islands

The Journal of Parasitology, 1994
A new species of nematode of the genus Heterorhabditis (Nemata: Heterorhabditidae) was found during a survey of the soil entomopathogenic nematode fauna of the Hawaiian Islands. Heterorhabditis hawaiiensis sp. n. can be separated from all other species of Heterorhabditis by the length of the infective juvenile and the morphological characters of the ...

Ecological characterization of Heterorhabditis sonorensis (Caborca strain) (Nematoda: Heterorhabditidae), an entomopathogenic nematode from the Sonoran Desert.

Zoology, 2019
Heterorhabditis nematodes are parasites of a wide range of soil-dwelling insect species. Although these nematodes have been exploited as biological control agents since the last half of the 20th century, much research remains to be done to understand how

Insect immunity in the Anthropocene

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 2, Page 698-723, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Anthropogenic activities result in global change, including climate change, landscape degradation and pollution, that can alter insect physiology and immune defences. These changes may have contributed to global insect decline and the dynamics of insect‐transmitted diseases.

Molecular and morphological characterization of heterorhabditid entomopathogenic nematodes from the tropical rainforest in Brazil

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2008
Despite massive losses of primary forest, the Amazonian rainforest remains an extremely rich source of biodiversity. In recent years, entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) have been isolated from soil in various parts of the world and used successfully as ...

Sustainability of athletic field turf comparing organic and synthetic practices under two heights of cut

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 1, January/February 2025.
Abstract Long‐term comparisons over several years between organic and synthetic management are lacking in sports turf research. Our objective was to investigate playing surface qualities and soil properties over an 8‐year period. For this trial, Kentucky bluegrass (KBG, Poa pratensis L.) sod was established and annually inter‐seeded with perennial ...

Development of a Deep Learning‐Assisted Mobile Application for the Identification of Nematodes Through Microscopic Images

Modern Agriculture, Volume 2, Issue 2, December 2024.
ABSTRACT Nematodes are microscopic metazoans, some species of which can be used as biological insecticides, while some other species annually damage 10.0%–20.0% of crops globally. Accurate identification of nematodes is crucial for their effective utilisation or control.
