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.

The role of Steinernema feltiae body-surface lipids in host–parasite immunological interactions
Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 2004Interactions 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.

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, 2013
Entomopathogenic nematodes are effective biological control agents against insect pests but their commercial application is restricted by their limited shelf life. This study applies our knowledge of the cold tolerance of nematodes to this problem and investigates further the cold tolerance mechanisms of Steinernema feltiae and Heterorhabditis ...

Population growth kinetics of the nematode, Steinernema feltiae, in submerged monoxenic culture
Biotechnology Letters, 2001Monoxenic cultures of the nematode, Steinernema feltiae, were carried out on two complex liquid media: P1, mainly soybean flour/egg yolk/yeast extract, and P2, mainly egg yolk/yeast extract. Up to 140 000–200 000 nematodes ml−1 were produced within 7 days, and more than 95% of the final population was in the infective juvenile stage. The total nematode
