Variability study of entomopathogenic nematode populations (Heterorhabditidae) from Argentina [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2016
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 ...

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.

Laboratory susceptibility tests of Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus larvae to the entomopathogenic nematode Heterorhabditis bacteriophora [PDF]

Biomédica: revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud, 2017
Introduction: Aedes aegypti is the vector of dengue, yellow fever, Zika and Chikungunya viruses, and Culex quinquefasciatus is the vector of St. Louis and West Nile encephalitis viruses. Objective: To evaluate infectivity of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora

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.

Evaluation of two free-living, and one entomopathogenic nematode species (Rhabditida) for controlling Bactrocera zonata (Diptera: Tephritidae) in Iraq [PDF]

Journal of Nematology
Fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) are among the most serious agricultural pests globally, causing significant economic losses in fruit production and posing major quarantine concerns for many countries. Bactrocera zonata, one of the most harmful species

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.

Description of Heterorhabditis americana n. sp. (Rhabditida, Heterorhabditidae), a new entomopathogenic nematode species isolated in North America [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors
Background Heterorhabditis are important biological control agents in agriculture. Two Heterorhabditis populations, S8 and S10, were isolated from agricultural soils in the United States of America.
