Effects of fertilizers on virulence of Steinernema carpocapsae
Abstract The effects of three fertilizers (fresh cow manure, composted manure, and urea) were determined on the virulence of Steinernema carpocapsae (Weiser) against the greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella (L.). Nitrogen levels were standardized among fertilizer treatments at two levels (280 and 560 kg ha−1).

Biological activity of entomopathogenic nematodes on Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae)
Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann) is one of the main pests of fruit farming, and entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) represent an important control tool of this species.

Nematobacterial Complexes and Insect Hosts: Different Weapons for the Same War
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are widely used as biological control agents against insect pests, the efficacy of these organisms strongly depends on the balance between the parasitic strategies and the immune response of the host.

Nematode–microbe symbiosis plays a key role in determining pathogenesis against pests. The modulation of symbiotic bacteria may affect the virulence of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) and the biological management of pests.

Pembiakan Nematoda Patogen Serangga (Rhabditida: Heterorhabditis Dan Steinernema) Pada Media Semi Padat [PDF]
Field application of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) is still hampered by inefficient mass production. The aim of this study was to compare three published in vitro media (medium Wouts, Bedding and Han) for mass propagation of three indigenous EPNs ...

Postembryonic Ventral Nerve Cord Development and Gonad Migration in Steinernema carpocapsae [PDF]
Abstract Steinernema carpocapsae is an entomopathogenic nematode widely studied for its properties as a biocontrol agent in insect pest management and as a model for understanding bacterial symbioses. Less attention has been given to the development of specific anatomical structures within S. carpocapsae.

Serine Protease-mediated Host Invasion by the Parasitic Nematode Steinernema carpocapsae [PDF]
Steinernema carpocapsae is an insect parasitic nematode used in biological control, which infects insects penetrating by mouth and anus and invading the hemocoelium through the midgut wall. Invasion has been described as a key factor in nematode virulence and suggested to be mediated by proteases.
