Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (Poinar) - the first member from Heterorhabditidae family in Slovenia
Acta Agriculturae Slovenica, 2009 In August 2008, we examined 95 soil samples for the occurrence of entomopathogenic nematodes in eastern part of Slovenia. 11 samples from 9 different locations were positive to entomopathogenic nematodes, but to this time only sample D54 was analysed ...

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.

Host seeking parasitic nematodes use specific odors to assess host resources. [PDF]
, 2017 Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are insect parasites used as biological control agents. Free-living infective juveniles (IJs) of EPNs employ host-seeking behaviors to locate suitable hosts for infection.

Effects of fertilizers on virulence of Steinernema carpocapsae
Applied Soil Ecology, 1996 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)
Bioscience Journal, 2021 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
Insects, 2018 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.

Pembiakan Nematoda Patogen Serangga (Rhabditida: Heterorhabditis Dan Steinernema) Pada Media Semi Padat [PDF]
, 2011 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 ...
