Nematobacterial Complexes and Insect Hosts: Different Weapons for the Same War
Insects, 2018 Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are widely used as biological control agents against insect pests, the efficacy of these organisms strongly depends on the balance between the parasitic strategies and the immune response of the host.

Interspecific nematode signals regulate dispersal behavior. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Dispersal is an important nematode behavior. Upon crowding or food depletion, the free living bacteriovorus nematode Caenorhabditis elegans produces stress resistant dispersal larvae, called dauer, which are analogous to second stage juveniles (J2) of ...

Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (Poinar) - the first member from Heterorhabditidae family in Slovenia
Acta Agriculturae Slovenica, 2009 In August 2008, we examined 95 soil samples for the occurrence of entomopathogenic nematodes in eastern part of Slovenia. 11 samples from 9 different locations were positive to entomopathogenic nematodes, but to this time only sample D54 was analysed ...

Steinernema feltiae Intraspecific Variability: Infection Dynamics and Sex-Ratio. [PDF]
J Nematol, 2014 Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) from the Heterorhabditidae and Steinernematidae families are well-known biocontrol agents against numerous insect pests. The infective juveniles (IJs) are naturally occurring in the soil and their success in locating and penetrating the host will be affected by extrinsic/intrinsic factors that modulate their foraging ...

Effectiveness of entomopathogenic nematodes in the control of Cydia pomonella larvae in Northern Italy [PDF]
, 2008 Since 2006, a large scale research on the effectiveness of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) in the control of codling moth (CM), Cydia pomonella, overwintering larvae has been performed on about 35 ha of pear orchards per year in Emilia-Romagna ...

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.
