Nutribloods: Novel synthetic lepidopteran haemolymphs for understanding insect–microbe nutritional interactions in vitro

Physiological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 264-276, September 2025.
We design 20 cell‐free ‘nutribloods’ based on the known composition of Spodoptera littoralis haemolymph for insects fed on 20 chemically defined diets varying in protein and carbohydrate levels. We then compared the growth of the blood‐borne insect bacterium Xenorhabdus nematophila in these 20 nutribloods.

Effect of selected pesticides on the vitality and virulence of the entomopathogenicnematode Steinernema feltiae (Nematoda: Steinernematidae)

Plant Protection Science, 2010
The survival and infectivity of infective juveniles of the entomopathogenic nematode Steinernema feltiae (Rhabditida: Steinernematidae) were determined after being exposed to 8 insecticides (a.i.

Efficacy of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Against Diapausing Larvae of the Truffle Beetle, Leiodes cinnamomeus

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 7, Page 1105-1108, August 2025.
ABSTRACT The truffle beetle, Leiodes cinnamomeus, is the most important pest in black truffle (Tuber melanosporum) plantations. Adults and mycophagous larvae are active during autumn and winter, while diapausing larvae are not. Previous laboratory studies demonstrated the high virulence of the entomopathogenic nematode (EPN) Heterorhabditis ...

Virulence and biocontrol potential of entomopathogenic nematodes against soil‐dwelling stages of the small hive beetle under laboratory and semi‐field conditions

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 7, Page 4004-4015, July 2025.
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are virulent against multiple life stages of Aethina tumida in the laboratory. EPNs significantly reduce adult emergence in natural and autoclaved sterile soil under semi‐field glasshouse conditions. Abstract BACKGROUND The small hive beetle (SHB; Aethina tumida) is a significant pest affecting honey bees and the ...

Testing the potential of entomopathogenic nematodes in attract‐and‐kill and autodissemination approaches in the control of Queensland fruit fly, Bactrocera tryoni

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 1, Page 160-169, January 2025.
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) delivered in a fly‐attractive aqueous yeast hydrolysate solution cause high levels of mortality in Queensland fruit fly. Infected flies can still fly and thereby disperse EPNs before the flies succumb to infection. Abstract BACKGROUND Many studies have demonstrated that tephritid fruit fly larvae are highly susceptible

Combining biological control approaches for managing insect crop pests in the field can generate interactive effects

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 26, Issue 4, Page 470-484, November 2024.
Pest control services provided or supported by three species of entomopathogenic nematodes and floral field margins. Counts of adult pest abundance of the swede midge, the cabbage root fly and the cabbage stem flea beetle and assessments of yield and crop damage.

Findings of Entomopathogenic Nematodes (Rhabditida, Steinernematidae) in Nature Reserves in Ukraine

Vestnik Zoologii, 2014
Abstract Findings of Entomopathogenic Nematodes (Rhabditida, Steinernematidae) in Nature Reserves in-Ukraine. Yakovlev, Ye. B., Kharchenko, V. A., Mráček, Z. — Five strains of Steinernema Travassos, 1927 were isolated by live baiting method with last instar larvae of Tenebrio molitor Linnaeus, 1758 from the reserves of some central and southern oblasts

Natural products from Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus show promise as biolarvicides against Aedes albopictus

Pest Management Science, Volume 80, Issue 9, Page 4231-4242, September 2024.
Entomopathogenic organisms are novel biopesticide sources. Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus spp. are quite effective against Aedes albopictus larvae. Fabclavine can be developed into biolarvicides or used as a model to synthesize new compounds. Abstract BACKGROUND In the perpetual struggle to manage mosquito populations, there has been increasing demand ...

Assessment of Azorean native strains of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora for the biological control of Popillia japonica

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 148, Issue 8, Page 977-982, September 2024.
Abstract Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs), especially Heterorhabditis bacteriophora, are promising candidates for biological control of Popillia japonica larvae. Thus, there is a need to study native strains to ensure biological agents adapted to specific environmental conditions to improve their effectiveness in field applications. This work aimed to

Pest categorisation of Diaphania indica

EFSA Journal, Volume 22, Issue 5, May 2024.
Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Diaphania indica (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), the cucumber moth for the territory of the European Union (EU), following the commodity risk assessment of Jasminum polyanthum from Uganda, in which D. indica was identified as a pest of possible concern to the European Union. D. indica
