A ShK-like Domain from Steinernema carpocapsae with Bioinsecticidal Potential. [PDF]

Toxins (Basel), 2022
Entomopathogenic nematodes are used as biological control agents against a broad range of insect pests. We ascribed the pathogenicity of these organisms to the excretory/secretory products (ESP) released by the infective nematode. Our group characterized different virulence factors produced by Steinernema carpocapsae that underlie its success as an ...

Dry-freezing Steinernema carpocapsae infective juveniles for robust preservation of stocks. [PDF]

MicroPubl Biol, 2023
Cryopreservation allows strains to be stored, eliminating genetic drift and maintenance costs. Existing cryopreservation methods for the economically-important entomopathogenic nematode Steinernema carpocapsae involve multiple incubation and filtration steps to precondition the animals.

Steinernema carpocapsae jumps with greater velocity and acceleration than previously reported. [PDF]

MicroPubl Biol, 2021
Infective juveniles of the insect-parastic nematode Steinernema carpocapsae can jump greater than 6 times their height, a striking evolved novelty in some species of this genus. Using high-speed videography, we observed the kinematics of Steinernema carpocapsae spontaneous jumping behavior.

Spodoptera frugiperda transcriptional response to infestation by Steinernema carpocapsae. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2019
Abstract Steinernema carpocapsae is an entomopathogenic nematode (EPN) used in biological control of agricultural pest insects. It enters the hemocoel of its host via the intestinal tract and releases its symbiotic bacterium Xenorhabdus nematophila .

A neuropeptide modulates sensory perception in the entomopathogenic nematode Steinernema carpocapsae. [PDF]

PLoS Pathog, 2017
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) employ a sophisticated chemosensory apparatus to detect potential hosts. Understanding the molecular basis of relevant host-finding behaviours could facilitate improved EPN biocontrol approaches, and could lend insight to similar behaviours in economically important mammalian parasites.

Efficiency of Certain Bio-Agents as Biological Control against Two Land Snail Species, Eobania Vermiculata (Müller) and Succinea Putris (Linnaeus) under Laboratory Conditions [PDF]

Journal of Plant Protection and Pathology, 2017
This study was carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of certain bio control agents such as entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNS)(Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (HP88), Heterorhabditis bacteriophora(B20), Steinernema carpocapsae and Steinernema sp ...

Entomopathogenic nematode-associated microbiota: from monoxenic paradigm to pathobiome

Microbiome, 2020
Background The holistic view of bacterial symbiosis, incorporating both host and microbial environment, constitutes a major conceptual shift in studies deciphering host-microbe interactions. Interactions between Steinernema entomopathogenic nematodes and

Potential of Steinernema carpocapsae (Weiser) as a biological control agent against potato tuber moth, Phthorimaea operculella (Zeller) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae)

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2020
The entomopathogenic nematode, Steinernema carpocapsae, was evaluated for control of the potato tuber moth, Phthorimaea operculella, under laboratory conditions. We evaluated different concentrations of S.

Entomopathogenic nematode Steinernema carpocapsae (Weiser) (Rhabditida: Steinernematidae), a new member of Slovenian fauna

Acta Agriculturae Slovenica, 2008
In April 2008, 120 soil samples from 24 locations were collected in Gorenjska, Notranjska and Primorska regions as well as in Ljubljansko barje. The presence of entomopathogenic nematodes was confirmed in 9 samples from 6 locations. Only the sample C101,

Особенности проявления инвазионной активности энтомопатогенных нематод (Nematoda: Steinernematidae) в зависимости от биотических и абиотических факторов окружающей среды

Вестник защиты растений, 2018
На примере двух видов нематод семейства Steinernematidae приведена сравнительная оценка особенностей проявления их инвазионной активности, основанная на математическом моделировании зависимости интенсивности инвазирования и смертности насекомых-хозяев ...
