Developing CRISPR-Cas9 based genome-editing tools in entomopathogenic nematode Steinernema carpocapsae

, 2020
Steinernema carpocapsae is parasitic to insects and mutualistic to bacterial symbionts Xenorhabdus nematophila, therefore is valuable to study naturally-occurring microbial symbiosis.

Exploiting Native Biodiversity for Invasive Species Management: The Case of Exorista larvarum as a Natural Enemy of the Invasive Box Tree Moth Cydalima perspectalis

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
The investigations evaluated the performance of the native parasitoid Exorista larvarum (L.) on last instar Cydalima perspectalis (Walker) larvae, using the factitious host Galleria mellonella (L.) as a control. Laboratory bioassays were conducted using no‐choice and choice (1:1 and 5:5) experimental designs.
