Cryopreservation of Steinernema carpocapsae and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora.

Journal of nematology, 2011
A method for the cryopreservation of third-stage infective juveniles (IJ) of Steinernema carpocapsae and Heterorhabiditis bacteriophora was developed. Cryoprotection was achieved by incubating the nematodes in 22% glycerol (S. carpocapsae) or 14% glycerol (H. bacteriophora) for 24 hours, followed by 70% methanol at 0 C for 10 minutes.

Outcrossing and crossbreeding recovers deteriorated traits in laboratory cultured Steinernema carpocapsae nematodes

International Journal for Parasitology, 2011
The nematode Steinernema carpocapsae infects and kills many pest insects in agro-ecosystems and is commonly used in biocontrol of these pests. Growth of the nematodes prior to distribution for biocontrol commonly results in deterioration of traits that are essential for nematode persistence in field applications.

Efficacy of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Against Diapausing Larvae of the Truffle Beetle, Leiodes cinnamomeus

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 7, Page 1105-1108, August 2025.
ABSTRACT The truffle beetle, Leiodes cinnamomeus, is the most important pest in black truffle (Tuber melanosporum) plantations. Adults and mycophagous larvae are active during autumn and winter, while diapausing larvae are not. Previous laboratory studies demonstrated the high virulence of the entomopathogenic nematode (EPN) Heterorhabditis ...

"Pesta": New Granular Formulations for Steinernema carpocapsae.

Journal of nematology, 2011
"Pesta," a new granular product for use with entrapped biocontrol agents, is based on a cohesive dough made of wheat flour, fillers, and other additives. Infective juveniles of the entomopathogen Steinernema carpocapsae strain All incorporated in Pesta granules emerged when the granules were softened by immersion in water.

Virulence and biocontrol potential of entomopathogenic nematodes against soil‐dwelling stages of the small hive beetle under laboratory and semi‐field conditions

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 7, Page 4004-4015, July 2025.
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are virulent against multiple life stages of Aethina tumida in the laboratory. EPNs significantly reduce adult emergence in natural and autoclaved sterile soil under semi‐field glasshouse conditions. Abstract BACKGROUND The small hive beetle (SHB; Aethina tumida) is a significant pest affecting honey bees and the ...

Efficacy of entomopathogenic nematodes present in Việt Nam against brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys) under laboratory conditions

Helminthologia
The brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys), a native of Asia, has become an invasive pest in North America and Europe. Given the severity of H. halys and the need for better and environmentally-friendly control methods for this pest, we evaluated

Mass Production of Entomopathogenic Nematodes- A Review [PDF]

, 2018
Utilization of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) is an ecofriendly method of crop protection. EPNs can be easily mass produced. Production approaches are either in vivo or in vitro methods (solid and liquid).

Effect of Pest Control Strategies on Arthropod Pests of Apple in Europe: A Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 6, Page 957-987, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) is a major fruit crop in Europe. More than 200 phytophagous arthropod species thrive in European apple orchards, several of which are economically important pests. Due to the pest pressure on apple production, consumer demand for residue‐free products and current policies to make food production in the European ...

Comparative Virulence of Entomopathogenic Nematodes to the Small Hive Beetle (Aethina tumida Murray, Coleoptera: Nitidulidae)

Journal of Nematology
The small hive beetle (SHB), Aethina tumida Murray (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae), has become a ubiquitous, invasive, and highly destructive pest of western honeybee (Apis mellifera Linnaeus) hives worldwide.

Screening of entomopathogenic nematodes for virulence against the invasive western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) in Europe [PDF]

, 2017
Entomopathogenic nematode species available in Europe were screened for their efficacy against both the root-feeding larvae and silk-feeding adults of the western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte.
