Entomopathogenic and entomoparasitic nematodes as biological control agents of thrips

Acta Phytopathologica et Entomologica Hungarica, 2008
An overview of the results of previous research on the effectiveness of entomopathogenic nematodes against harmful Thysanoptera species and so-far recorded entomophilic (parasitic) nematodes of the genus Thripinema is given. Probably in the near future entomopathogenic nematodes will partly substitute for insecticides in controlling thrips and other ...

Biological Control of the Western Corn Rootworm Using An Entomoparasitic Nematode, 1991

Insecticide and Acaricide Tests, 1992
Abstract Efficacy of Steinernema carpocapsae, All strain as a biological control agent for WCR was evaluated on a Waukegan silt loam soil at the University of Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, Rosemount. Experimental plots, consisting of 30 plants in 3 rows (76 cm row spacing) of 10, were laid out in a completely random design ...

Activity and Persistence of Entomoparasitic Nematodes Tested Against Heliothis armigera (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

Journal of Economic Entomology, 1990
The pathogenicity of entomopathogenic nematodes from the genera Stetnernema and Heterorhabditts against Heliothts armigera Hiibner was tested under laboratory conditions. Complete mortality was achieved with 200 infective juveniles (IJ) of S. feltiae Filipjev, strain ‘All,’ The LD50 was 54 IJ per insect.

Biological Control of The Western Corn Rootworm Using an Entomoparasitic Nematode, 1992

Insecticide and Acaricide Tests, 1993
Abstract Efficacy of Steinernema carpocapsae. All strain, as a biological control agent for WCR was evaluated on a Waukegan silt loam soil at the University of Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, Rosemount. Experimental plots, consisting of 30 plants in 30 rows of 10 (76-cm row spacing, planted 19 May), were infested on 9 Jun with

Cloning, characterisation and heterologous expression of an astacin metalloprotease, Sc-AST, from the entomoparasitic nematode Steinernema carpocapsae

Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 2010
Steinernema carpocapsae is a parasitic nematode that is high virulent to insects. The parasitic juvenile reaches the insect haemocoelium by passing through mid-gut barriers and develops there. During invasion, the nematode was predicted to express a large set of proteases, including metalloproteases, one of which was sequenced and expressed in this ...

Persistence of the entomoparasitic nematode Heterorhabditis bacteriophora in maize fields

Journal of Applied Entomology, 2012
AbstractThe entomoparasitic nematode (EPN) Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (Rhabditida: Heterorhabditidae) is a promising candidate for the biological control of larvae of the maize pest Western Corn Rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae).

Use of Entomoparasitic Nematodes (EPANs) in Biological Control

2002
Nematodes and insects can be considered as the most successful groups of invertebrate organisms in the nature. Nematodes have colonized all type of ecosystems (excluding the air ecosytem where they may occur only as phoretic organisms) and a wide range of different habitats. In contrast to insects they inhabite even salt sea water.

Preliminary description of a new entomoparasitic nematode infecting Lutzomyia longipalpis sand fly, the vector of visceral leishmaniasis in the New World

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2002
Phlebotomine sandflies are vectors of important pathogens world-wide, including Leishmania spp. in the Neotropics. Entomoparasites have been described from phlebotomines, including virus, bacteria, protozoa, fungi, nematodes, and mites, some of which are capable of killing the host.
