Harnessing entomopathogenic nematodes for sustainable pest management: mechanisms, challenges, and innovations [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) of the genera Heterorhabditis and Steinernema are increasingly recognized as potent biological control agents due to their ability to infect and kill diverse insect pest taxa through a symbiotic partnership with insect ...

Touch-stimulation increases host-seeking behavior in Steinernema Carpocapsae [PDF]

Journal of Nematology, 2019
Previous research demonstrated that Steinernema carpocapsae infective juveniles (IJs) exposed to a host cuticle were more attracted toward certain host-associated volatile odors.

Efficacy of entomopathogenic nematodes present in Việt Nam against brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys) under laboratory conditions [PDF]

Helminthologia
The brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys), a native of Asia, has become an invasive pest in North America and Europe. Given the severity of H. halys and the need for better and environmentally-friendly control methods for this pest, we evaluated

Steinernema feltiae- Xenorhabdus bovienii: more information on this bactohelminthic complex from Iran [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Animal Biosystematics, 2022
Two families of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs), Steinernematidae and Heterorhabditidae, that are symbiotically associated with Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus bacteria, are one of the effective biological control agents of insect pests.

Isolation, identification of entomopathogenic nematodes with insights into their distribution in the Syrian coast regions and virulence against Tuta absoluta

Journal of Nematology, 2023
The occurrence and distribution of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) in the Syrian coast regions remain relatively uncharted. To address this gap in our knowledge, an extensive survey of these ecosystems was essential.

Transcriptomic Analysis of Steinernema Nematodes Highlights Metabolic Costs Associated to Xenorhabdus Endosymbiont Association and Rearing Conditions

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
Entomopathogenic nematodes of the genus Steinernema have a mutualistic relationship with bacteria of the genus Xenorhabdus and together they form an antagonist partnership against their insect hosts. The nematodes (third-stage infective juveniles, or IJs)
