Entomopathogenic Nematodes for the Management of Plum Curculio in Highbush Blueberry
Biology, 2021 Conotrachelus nenuphar Herbst (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is a key pest of stone and pome fruits in the United States. Application of certain entomopathogenic nematode (EPN) species has shown efficacy in some crops when targeting the larval stage of C ...

Host-Specific Activation of Entomopathogenic Nematode Infective Juveniles. [PDF]
, 2018 Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are potent insect parasites and have been used for pest control in agriculture. Despite the complexity of the EPN infection process, hosts are typically killed within 5 days of initial infection.

A neuropeptide modulates sensory perception in the entomopathogenic nematode Steinernema carpocapsae
PLOS Pathogens, 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.

Temperature-dependent changes in the host-seeking behaviors of parasitic nematodes [PDF]
, 2016 Olfactory plasticity occurs in individual infective juveniles (IJs), is not affected by cultivation density, and occurs in multiple strains of Steinernema carpocapsae. A. Temperature-induced changes in sensory valence occur in individual IJs.
