Biocontrol success when using entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) in the genera
Heterorhabditis and Steinernema relies on a variety of factors including components of the …

The entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) Heterorhabditis and Steinernema together with
their symbiont bacteria Photorhabdus and Xenorhabdus, respectively, are obligate and …

Naturally occurring entomopathogens are important regulatory factors in insect populations.
Many species are employed as biological control agents of insect pests in row and …

This book documents and illustrates major developments in the use of nematodes for the
biological control of insects and slugs. It covers the use of three main types of nematodes …

Several species of entomopathogenic nematodes in the families Steinernematidae
(Steinernema) and Heterorhabditidae (Heterorhabditis) are being produced commercially …

Biological invasions are a global threat to biodiversity. Since the spread of invasive alien
plants may have many impacts, an integrated approach, assessing effects across various …

Entomopathogenic nematodes in Steinernema, together with their symbiont bacteria
Xenorhabdus, are obligate and lethal parasites of insects that can provide effective …

Entomopathogenic nematodes (genera Steinernema and Heterorhabditis) kill insects with
the aid of mutualistic bacteria. The nematode–bacteria complex is mass produced for use as …

Many parasitic nematodes actively seek out hosts in which to complete their lifecycles.
Olfaction is thought to play an important role in the host-seeking process, with parasites …

Parasitic nematodes infect different species of animals and plants. Root-knot nematodes are
members of the genus Meloidogyne, which is distributed worldwide and parasitizes …
