Interactions between Nematodes and Earthworms: Enhanced Dispersal of Steinernema carpocapsae.
Dispersal of the nematode Steinernema carpocapsae (All strain), applied on the top or the bottom of soil columns, was tested in the presence or absence of two earthworm species, Lumbricus terrestris or Aporrectodea trapezoides. Nematode dispersal was estimated after a 2-week period with a bioassay against the greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella ...

Soil Moisture Effects on Entomopathogenic Nematodes [PDF]
The effect of soil moisture on entomopathogenic nematode virulence was examined in the laboratory. Objectives were to determine the virulence of several species and isolates of entomopathogenic nematodes at various soil moisture contents and temperatures,

The Continual Forming and Contribution of Infective Juveniles Produced Via Endotokia Matricida of Entomopathogenic Nematodes in the Family of Steinernematidae and Heterorhabditidae [PDF]
The non-feeding developmentally arrested infective juveniles (IJs) of entomopathogenic nematodes in the family of Steinernematidae and Heterorhabditidae seek out a susceptible insect host and initiate infections.

Effects of Crop Residue on the Persistence of Steinernema carpocapsae.
We determined the effects of crop residue on the persistence of an entomopathogenic nematode, Steinernema carpocapsae. During 2 consecutive years, nematodes were applied at rates of 2.5 x 10 and 1.0 x 10 infective juveniles/m(2) to small field plots planted with corn.
