The influence of habitat quality on the foraging strategies of the entomopathogenic nematodes Steinernema carpocapsae and Heterorhabditis megidis [PDF]
, 2010 Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) are soil-transmitted parasites and their foraging strategies are believed to range from ‘ambush’ to ‘cruise’ foragers. However, research on their behaviour has not considered the natural habitat of these nematodes.

iso‐Fatty Acid Metabolism in Caenorhabditis elegans’ Ceramide Biosynthesis
Helvetica Chimica Acta, Volume 106, Issue 11, November 2023., 2023 Abstract Ceramide biosynthesis and its connection to iso‐fatty acid metabolism in the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans was investigated using a combination of reverse genetics and comparative ESI‐(+)‐HR‐MSe ceramide profiling along with incorporation experiments with bacterial mutants specifically enriched with isotopically labeled branched‐chain ...

Thirty years of slug control using the parasitic nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita and beyond
Pest Management Science, Volume 79, Issue 10, Page 3408-3424, October 2023., 2023 The nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita is a parasite of slugs and snails and has been formulated into a biological control agent for use across northern Europe since 1994. Here, we review all research on P. hermaphrodita that has been carried out over the last 30 years and suggest future priorities.

Pest Management Science, Volume 78, Issue 11, Page 4719-4727, November 2022., 2022 When integrating microbials with chemical insecticides against Pangaeus bilineatus, the interaction between Steinernema carposcasae and imidacloprid was synergistic or additive. Imidacloprid did not negatively impact the reproduction of S. carposcapsae.
