Intestinal Parasite Community Dynamics in the Critically Endangered Chinese Alligator (<i>Alligator sinensis</i>): Multifactorial Insights From 18S rRNA Amplicon Sequencing. [PDF]
Our results firstly demonstrate the structure of parasite communities in A. sinensis and clarify how they are shaped by interacting ecological and management factors, providing critical baseline data for future research. ABSTRACT The intestinal parasite communities of vertebrates are shaped by complex interactions among biological, environmental, and ...

Entomopathogenic Nematodes (Nematoda: Rhabditida: families Steinernematidae and Heterorhabditidae)
Entomopathogenic nematodes are soft bodied, non-segmented roundworms that are obligate or sometimes facultative parasites of insects. They occur naturally in soil environments and locate their host in response to carbon dioxide, vibration, and other ...

How effective are entomopathogenic nematodes for vine weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) biological control? A meta-analysis. [PDF]
Entomopathogenic nematodes provide reliable biological control of vine weevil larvae, reducing populations by 63% on average. All five tested species are effective, with temperature (18–30 °C) being the strongest predictor of success. Abstract BACKGROUND Vine weevil (Otiorhynchus sulcatus) is a globally important pest of soft fruit and ornamental crops

The evolution of entomopathogeny in nematodes [PDF]
Understanding how parasites evolved is crucial to understand the host and parasite interaction. The evolution of entomopathogenesis in rhabditid nematodes has traditionally been thought to have occurred twice within the phylum Nematoda: in ...

Identifying key parameters for reliable assessment of entomopathogenic nematodes viability as affected by spray application stress-related factors. [PDF]
Commercial entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) were exposed to stress simulating spray application conditions, for viability assessment using different methods. Temperature impacted non‐lethal stress earlier than survival and activity, emphasizing the importance of measuring these parameters to assess pesticide application equipment (PAE) impact on EPN ...
