Management of white grubs (Coleoptera: Scarabeidae) with entomopathogenic nematodes in Rwanda
Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control, 2018 White grubs are largely unsolved problems in vegetable and tuber production in East Africa. Novel Rwandan as well as international entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) were screened in nine laboratory bioassays and two small-scale field trials in 2014 and ...

Biological Control Technology Utilizing Heterorhabditis bacteriophora and Steinernema carpocapsae
International Journal of Phytopathology, 2019 Entomopathogenic nematodes (in the genus Steinernema and Heterorhabditis) have been studied and successfully commercialized as biological control agents. These organisms are highly virulent and safe for the non-target environment, animals and humans.

Effects of insect host chemical secretions on the entomopathogenic nematode Steinernema carpocapsae
Journal of Helminthology, 2023 Abstract Given the threat presented by parasites and pathogens, insects employ various defences to protect themselves against infection, including chemical secretions. The red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum releases a secretion containing the benzoquinones methyl-1,4 ...

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.

State-space based mass event-history model I: many decision-making agents with one target
, 2009 A dynamic decision-making system that includes a mass of indistinguishable agents could manifest impressive heterogeneity. This kind of nonhomogeneity is postulated to result from macroscopic behavioral tactics employed by almost all involved agents.
