Isolation and Molecular Identification of Entomopathogenic Nematodes (Steinernema and Heterorhabditis) From East Java and Bali [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Entomopathogenic nematode of the families Steinernematidae and Heterorhabditidae is one of the best biological control agents of insect pests. Native isolates maybe more efficacious in controlling insect pests than imported ones because they have adapted

Host seeking parasitic nematodes use specific odors to assess host resources. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are insect parasites used as biological control agents. Free-living infective juveniles (IJs) of EPNs employ host-seeking behaviors to locate suitable hosts for infection.

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

open access: yesJournal 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

open access: yesPest 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

open access: yesPest 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

Touch-stimulation increases host-seeking behavior in Steinernema Carpocapsae. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Previous research demonstrated that Steinernema carpocapsae infective juveniles (IJs) exposed to a host cuticle were more attracted toward certain host-associated volatile odors.

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

open access: yesPlant 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.
