The influence of habitat quality on the foraging strategies of the entomopathogenic nematodes Steinernema carpocapsae and Heterorhabditis megidis [PDF]
, 2010 Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) are soil-transmitted parasites and their foraging strategies are believed to range from ‘ambush’ to ‘cruise’ foragers. However, research on their behaviour has not considered the natural habitat of these nematodes.

Conspecific pheromone extracts enhance entomopathogenic infectivity
Journal of Nematology, 2019 Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) provide economic control of various insect pests. However, field efficacy can be inconsistent. The ability of a nematode to find and infect (invade) a host insect is critical to successful pathogenesis.

Formulation of entomopathogenic nematodes for crop pest control - a review
Plant Protection Science, 2017 The different materials and methods used to develop biopesticides with entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) still limit the quality of the final product, reducing field efficacy and complicating application strategies.

Bacterial Symbionts of Steinernema scapterisci
Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 1993 Abstract We isolated bacteria from Steinernema scapterisci cultured in the laboratory either in vivo or in vitro and collected from two field locations. The bacteria were identified by gas-liquid chromatography of their fatty acid methyl esters using the MIDI Microbial Identification System. The bacteria clustered into three groups. All but one
