Dispersal of the Entomogenous Nematode Steinernema feltiae (Rhabditida: Steinernematidae) by Infected Adult Insects

Environmental Entomology, 1988
A laboratory study determined that Spodoptera exigua (Hubner) adults infected with the entomogenous nematode Steinernema feltiae Filipjev dispersed up to 11 m from the site of infection. After dispersal and death of the host, nematode progeny developed within the moth cadavers, moved into the soil, and infected larvae of S. exigua .

The Morphology of Lateral Fields of Infective Juveniles of Entomogenous Nematodes of the Family Steinernematidae (Rhabditida)

Nematologica, 1991
Approximately 1000 specimens representing more than 30 species and strains of the family Steinernematidae, from Australia, North and South America and Europe were investigated by scanning electron microscopy to determine the structure of the lateral field of the infective juveniles.

Laboratory infection of terrestrial isopods (Crustacea: Isopoda) with neoaplectanid and heterorhabditid nematodes (Rhabditida: Nematoda)

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 1985
Abstract Under laboratory conditions, the nematodes Neoaplectana carpocapsae and Heterorhabditis heliothidis were able to infect and develop inside the hemocoel of terrestrial isopods belonging to the genus Porcellio. Armidillidium vulgare was also infected by N. carpocapsae , but this host was less susceptible than Porcellio .

Recognition of Low-Temperature Infective Isolates of the Entomopathogenic Nematode Heterorhabditis Spp. (Rhabditida: Heterorhabditidae)

Nematologica, 1994
A laboratory test for primary screening of large numbers of Heterorhabditis isolates for low-temperature infectivity is described. The cold active isolate HF85 was used for reference. Preliminary studies showed that, at 9°C, Galleria mellonella in sand columns or Tenebrio molitor on filter paper identified much the same group of isolates as cold ...

Heat shock enhances thermotolerance of infective juvenile insect-parasitic nematodesHeterorhabditis bacteriophora (Rhabditida: Heterorhabditidae)

Experientia, 1996
Insect-parasitic nematodes possess many of the attributes of ideal biological control agents, but intolerance to extreme temperatures can restrict their use. We examined whether heat-shock treatments could improve nematode survival and infectivity at temperatures that normally inhibit their activity (35 and 40 degrees C).

Impact of the host cadaver on survival and infectivity of entomopathogenic nematodes (Rhabditida: Steinernematidae and Heterorhabditidae) under desiccating conditions

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2003
Entomopathogenic nematode species of Steinernema carpocapsae, Steinernema riobrave, or Heterorhabditis bacteriophora were used to compare survival and infectivity among infective juveniles (IJs) emerging in water from hosts in White traps (treatment a), emerging in sand from hosts placed in sand (treatment c), and emerging from hosts placed on a mesh ...

Moisture requirements of the DD-136 strain of Neoaplectana carpocapsae (Nematoda; Rhabditida) as related to host infection

Experimental Parasitology, 1973
Abstract The DD-136 strain of Neoaplectana carpocapsae is capable of continued movement over dry surfaces at 35 and 5 C if relative humidity (RH) ranges above 90%. It can also live in the field on foliage for several hours at night and up to 24 days in bark beetle tunnels in pine bolts.

Dispersal ofHeterorhabditis baujardiLPP7 (Nematoda: Rhabditida) applied to the soil as infected host cadavers

International Journal of Pest Management, 2008
In orchards, in cases where the insect pests are concentrated under the canopy, entomopathogenic nematodes can be applied as infected host cadavers. This study evaluated the distribution of Heterorhabditis baujardi Phan, Subbotin, Nguyen & Moens strain LPP7 applied as one or 15 host cadavers per plot in a guava orchard.

Achatina fulica(Mollusca: Achatinidae) Naturally Infected withCaenorhabditis briggsae(Dougherty and Nigon, 1949) (Nematoda: Rhabditidae)

Journal of Parasitology, 2018
Specimens of the African snail Achatina fulica, collected in Bucaramanga, Colombia, were examined for parasites. Numerous specimens of Caenorhabditis briggsae were collected from the digestive tract of the snails and identified by the structure of male spiculum, caudal bursa, gubernaculum and precloacal lip in males, triangular tooth in metarhabdion ...
