Control of sciarid flies with Steinernema feltiae in poinsettia cutting production
International Journal of Pest Management, 2003The efficacy of Steinernema feltiae (UK strain) with the nominal concentrations of 0.65 and 1.3 million per table/m 2 against sciarids ( Bradysia spp.) in Jiffy plugs of poinsettia cuttings was studied on sand and ebb-and-flow tables during two summers under commercial production conditions.

The role of Steinernema feltiae body-surface lipids in host–parasite immunological interactions
Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 2004 Interactions between entomopathogenic nematodes (Steinernema feltiae) and insect host (Galleria mellonella) immune system were investigated. We focused on the immunosuppressive properties of the parasite cuticle and on its interaction with hemolymph humoral components.

Selection for host-finding in Steinernema feltiae
Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 1989Abstract A hybridized Foundation population of the entomopathogenic nematode Steinernema feltiae was bidirectionally selected for enhanced and diminished host-finding ability. While there was no response to selection for diminished host-finding, 13 rounds of selection for enhancement produced a 20- to 27-fold increase.

For commercial use of the entomopathogenic nematodes Steinernema carpocapsae and Steinernema feltiae in biological control of insect pests, they are produced in liquid culture on artificial media pre-incubated with their symbiotic bacteria Xenorhabdus nematophila and Xenorhabdus bovienii, respectively.

Effect of host insect sterols on the development and sterol composition of Steinernema feltiae
Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 1986Steinernema feltiae (= Neoaplectana carpocapsae), 'All' strain, was propagated in larvae of the corn earworm, Heliothis zea, which contained various sterols, in order to determine how the sterol composition of the host affects the growth, development and sterol composition of this insect-parasitic nematode. S.

Development of Steinernema feltiae (Rhabditida: Steinernematidae) in diseased insect hosts
Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 1989Abstract The interaction between the entomopathogenic nematode, Steinernema feltiae , and a nuclear polyhedrosis virus (NPV) or Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki in a common host was investigated. S. feltiae reproduced successfully in 68.3% of moribund hosts infected with NPV. S.

Cryobiology, 1990
Abstract Cryopreservation studies were conducted with the J1 juvenile and third stage infective juvenile (IJ) larval stages of the entomogenous parasitic nematode Steinernema feltiae (= Neoaplectana carpocapsae). The main parameters evaluated were (i) tolerance of the organisms to the cryoprotectants methanol, ethanediol, glycerol, and dimethyl ...

Nematology, 1999
Abstract The present study describes different desiccation tolerance traits of three strains of Steinernema feltiae (IS-6, IS-15, and N8). A slow dehydration regime (pre-conditioning at 97% relative humidity \[RH] for 3 days at 23 degrees C) induced a quiescent anhydrobiosis state in all strains, which enabled them to

Experimental Parasitology, 1988
The structure and concentration of sterol in a lipid-defined artificial medium affected the development of the entomogenous nematode, Steinernema feltiae (= Neoaplectana carpocapsae). The nematode grew normally in vitro when the medium was supplemented with delta 5-desalkylsterol (cholesterol) or delta 5-desalkylsteryl ester (cholesterol oleate).

Foliar application of Steinernema feltiae for the control of flower thrips.
Mededelingen (Rijksuniversiteit te Gent. Fakulteit van de Landbouwkundige en Toegepaste Biologische Wetenschappen), 2003Results of a programme, continued from 2000, of weekly commercial foliar applications of entomopathogenic nematodes for the control of western flower thrips, are presented. The programme was extended to include two, year-round crops of pot chrysanthemums and one crop of year-round Saintpaulias.
