Ecological characterization of Steinernema anatoliense (Rhabditida: Steinernematidae)

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2006
Our study describes the basic ecological characteristics of the entomopathogenic nematode Steinernema anatoliense including its response to temperature, moisture, and host range. The effect of temperature and soil moisture on the infection of Galleria mellonella larvae by S. anatoliense was determined.

The nature of the intestinal vesicle in nematodes of the family steinernematidae

International Journal for Parasitology, 1983
Abstract The intestinal vesicle is a modification of the ventricular portion of the intestine of infective larvae of nematodes of the family Steinernematidae. This structure, which normally houses the bacterium Xenorhabdus nematophilus in Steinernema species, was examined in a number of species either in the living state using differential ...

Steinernema kraussei (Rhabditida, Steinernematidae) from Iceland

Comparative Parasitology, 2004
Abstract A survey of soils from Iceland for the presence of cold-active entomopathogenic nematodes yielded a single isolate of Steinernema kraussei. This isolate was compared morphologically with the topotype from Westphalia, Germany, and was found to be similar except that the strain from Iceland had shorter mucrons and a longer gubernaculum in second-

Temporal association of entomopathogenic nematodes (Rhabditida: Steinernematidae and Heterorhabditidae) and bacteria

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2006
Galleria mellonella L. larvae were infected with three species (seven strains) of Steinernema spp. or three species (three strains) of Heterorhabditis spp. Infected larvae were incubated at 22, 27, and 32 degrees C. Larvae were dorsally dissected every 6h over a 48-h period. Hemolymph was collected and streaked on tryptic soy agar plates.

Morphology and ultrastructure of the bacterial receptacle in Steinernema nematodes (Nematoda: Steinernematidae)

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2012
Infective juveniles of entomopathogenic nematodes in the genus Steinernema harbor symbiotic bacteria, Xenorhabdus spp., in a discrete structure located in the anterior portion of the intestine known as the 'bacterial receptacle' (formerly known as the bacterial or intestinal vesicle).
