Interspecific competition between entomopathogenic nematodes (Steinernema) is modified by their bacterial symbionts (Xenorhabdus)

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2006
Background Symbioses between invertebrates and prokaryotes are biological systems of particular interest in order to study the evolution of mutualism.

A New Member of the Growing Family of Contact-Dependent Growth Inhibition Systems in Xenorhabdus doucetiae. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Xenorhabdus is a bacterial symbiont of entomopathogenic Steinernema nematodes and is pathogenic for insects. Its life cycle involves a stage inside the insect cadaver, in which it competes for environmental resources with microorganisms from soil and the

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.

Immune interactions between Drosophila and the pathogen Xenorhabdus

Microbiological Research, 2020
Deciphering host innate immune function and bacterial pathogenic tactics require a system that facilitates both facets of host-pathogen interactions. In recent years, a model that becomes established in dissecting mechanisms of host antibacterial immune response through probing with a potent bacterial pathogen involves the fruit fly Drosophila ...

Isolation and identification of Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus bacteria associated with entomopathogenic nematodes and their larvicidal activity against Aedes aegypti

Parasites & Vectors, 2017
Background Aedes aegypti is a potential vector of West Nile, Japanese encephalitis, chikungunya, dengue and Zika viruses. Alternative control measurements of the vector are needed to overcome the problems of environmental contamination and chemical ...

Master of Puppets: How Microbiota Drive the Nematoda Ecology and Evolution?

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
The nematode microbiota can influence life‐history traits, thereby shaping the species' ecology and evolutionary trajectories. ABSTRACT In recent decades, the microbiota has emerged as a key driver of biological functions in metazoans, and nematodes are no exception.

Evaluation of the mosquitocidal activity of Photorhabdus and Xenorhabdus extracts against the larvae of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae)

Journal of Entomological and Acarological Research
Aedes aegypti is the main vector for dengue viruses. Alternative control of this mosquito was proposed because of its resistance to chemical insecticides.

Characterization of Xenorhabdus (γ-Proteobacteria) strains associated bacteria with the Steinernema (Nematoda: Steinernematidae) isolates from Iran [PDF]

نامه انجمن حشره‌شناسی ایران, 2011
The gram-negative bacterium Xenorhabdus is mutualistically associated with entomopathogenic nematode, Steinernema. Three bacterial strains were isolated from the entomopathogenic nematodes, Steinernema glaseri (Steiner) and S.

Metabolites of Xenorhabdus bacteria are potent candidates for mitigating amphibian chytridiomycosis

AMB Express, 2023
Chytridiomycosis, caused by the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), has caused extreme losses in amphibian biodiversity. Finding bacteria that produce metabolites with antifungal properties may turn out to be invaluable in the fight ...
