Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2012 The sugarcane borer, Diatraea saccharalis, makes tunnels in the cane stalk, causing weight loss, as well as bud death, impairing germination. The weakened stalks are also more prone to breakage by wind, and in young plants the inner whorl of the leaves ...

Susceptibility of cockroaches (Gromphadorhina portentosa, Nauphoeta cinerea and Blaptica dubia) exposed to entomopathogenic nematodes [PDF]
Cockroaches are major pests, vectors of pathogenic bacteria and induce allergies. Current control methods use chemical pesticides, but they can be ineffective and costly and there are reports of resistance in the field; hence new control methods are ...

Comparative genomics of Steinernema reveals deeply conserved gene regulatory networks [PDF]
, 2015 Background: Parasitism is a major ecological niche for a variety of nematodes. Multiple nematode lineages have specialized as pathogens, including deadly parasites of insects that are used in biological control.

Mating and Sexual Communication by Steinernema carpocapsae (Nemata: Steinernematidae).
Journal of nematology, 2011 Entomopathogenic nematodes are lethal insect parasites that reproduce exclusively inside their hosts in nature. Infection decisions made by the free-living infective-stage juveniles have an impact on reproductive success, but it is likely that mating decisions are made by adults while inside their host. We investigated sexual communication between male

Side effects of immune response of Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata against the entomopathogenic nematode, Steinernema carpocapsae infection [PDF]
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2014 Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are lethal pathogens of agricultural insect pests. Little is known about their sublethal effects on the insect hosts. The lethal effects of Steinernema carpocapsae on fourth instar larvae of Colorado potato beetle (CPB),
