Entomopathogenic nematodes from the two genera Steinernema and Heterorhabditis are
widely used as biological agents against various insect pests and represent a promising …

Single host–symbiont interactions should be reconsidered from the perspective of the
pathobiome. We revisit here the interactions between entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) …

Background The holistic view of bacterial symbiosis, incorporating both host and microbial
environment, constitutes a major conceptual shift in studies deciphering host-microbe …

Background The complex including entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) of the genera
Steinernema and Heterorhabditis and their mutualistic partner, ie, Xenorhabdus and …

Xenorhabdus nematophila, an entomopathogenic bacterium, is mutualistic with the
nematode Steinernema carpocapsae. The bacterium produces secondary metabolites to …

The current work is aimed at isolating and identifying new Entomopathogenic bacterium
(EPB) strains associated with Steinernema feltiae and assessing the EPB's biocontrol …

Highlights•Steinernema-Xenorhabdus-insect interaction is an ideal model to investigate
symbiosis.•Insect virulence and reproductive fitness of these partners is tightly associated …

Symbiotic bacteria form a mutualistic relationship with nematodes and are pathogenic to
many insect pests. They kill insects using various strategies to evade or suppress their …

Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are potent insect parasites and have been used for
pest control in agriculture. Despite the complexity of the EPN infection process, hosts are …

Simple Summary For sustainable agriculture, there is a need to identify and evaluate more
biocontrol agents, including entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs). In this study, EPNs and …
