The influence of habitat quality on the foraging strategies of the entomopathogenic nematodes Steinernema carpocapsae and Heterorhabditis megidis [PDF]
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.

Survival and efficacy of entomopathogenic nematodes on exposed surfaces
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) species differ in their capability to withstand rapid desiccation (RD). Infective juveniles of Steinernema carpocapsae are a better adaptable and tolerant than Steinernema feltiae or Heterorhabditis bacteriophora as, an ...

Testing local isolates of entomopathogenic nematodes against the green stink bug Nezara viridula L.
Aim of study: The green vegetable bug Nezara viridula L. is a polyphage that is spread all over the world, but in the last 10 years it has entered the territory of the Russian Federation.

Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (Poinar) - the first member from Heterorhabditidae family in Slovenia
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 ...

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

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.
