A Lover and a Fighter: The Genome Sequence of an Entomopathogenic Nematode Heterorhabditis bacteriophora [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Heterorhabditis bacteriophora are entomopathogenic nematodes that have evolved a mutualism with Photorhabdus luminescens bacteria to function as highly virulent insect pathogens.

HETERORHABDITIS BACTERIOPHORA NEMATODES ARE SENSITIVE TO THE BACTERIAL PATHOGEN PHOTORHABDUS ASYMBIOTICA. [PDF]
J Parasitol, 2023 The entomopathogenic nematode (EPN) Heterorhabditis bacteriophora infects a wide range of insect hosts with the aid of its mutualistic bacteria Photorhabdus luminescens. While the mutualistic relationship between H. bacteriophora and P. luminescens and the infectivity of the nematode-bacteria complex have been characterized, how nematode fitness is ...

Improving the annotation of the Heterorhabditis bacteriophora genome. [PDF]
Gigascience, 2018 AbstractGenome assembly and annotation remains an exacting task. As the tools available for these tasks improve, it is useful to return to data produced with earlier instances to assess their credibility and correctness. The entomopathogenic nematode Heterorhabditis bacteriophora is widely used to control insect pests in horticulture.

Refined ab initio gene predictions of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora using RNA-seq. [PDF]
Int J Parasitol, 2018 Interest has recently grown in developing the entomopathogenic nematode Heterorhabditis bacteriophora as a model to genetically dissect the process of parasitic infection. Despite the availability of a full genome assembly, there is substantial variation in gene model accuracy.

Dissemination of Isaria fumosorosea Spores by Steinernema feltiae and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora. [PDF]
J Fungi (Basel), 2020 Entomopathogenic nematodes and fungi are globally distributed soil organisms that are frequently used as bioagents in biological control and integrated pest management. Many studies have demonstrated that the combination of biocontrol agents can increase their efficacy against target hosts.

Identification of candidate infection genes from the model entomopathogenic nematode Heterorhabditis bacteriophora. [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2017 Despite important progress in the field of innate immunity, our understanding of host immune responses to parasitic nematode infections lags behind that of responses to microbes. A limiting factor has been the obligate requirement for a vertebrate host which has hindered investigation of the parasitic nematode infective process.
