Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are lethal pathogens of agricultural insect pests. Little
is known about their sublethal effects on the insect hosts. The lethal effects of Steinernema …

The median lethal concentrations (LC50) of H. indica (10.8, 13.8, 23.8 and 15.7 IJs/larva)
were lower than those of S. carpocapsae (13.8, 15.9, 28.8 and 19.4 IJs/larva) in sand, red …

Cockroaches are major pests, vectors of pathogenic bacteria and induce allergies. Current
control methods use chemical pesticides, but they can be ineffective and costly and there …

Four entomopathogenic nematode species (Steinernema feltiae, S. carpocapsae,
Heterorhabditis bacteriophora, and H. megidis) were tested in a laboratory bioassay for the …

In the laboratory experiment, S. rugosoannulata proved to be the most efficient biocontrol
agent by parasitizing the maximum number of eggs, whereas D. oviparasitica appeared to …

Entomopathogenic nematodes carrying symbiotic bacteria represent one of the best non-
chemical strategies for insect control. Infective juveniles of Heterorhabditidae and …

The efficacy of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) against larvae of Agrotis ipsilon
(Hufnagel)(Noctuidae: Lepidoptera) in potato was evaluated under laboratory and …

Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) can be used efficiently as biological control agents
against specific insects. Galleria mellonella (Gm) and Spodoptera littoralis (Sl) are …

Background. The influence of infection with two species of entomopathogenic nematodes of
Steinernematidae family on the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) of the host was …

Biochemical analysis of the haemolymph and body fat of the larvae of the red palm weevil,
Rhynchophorus ferrugineus, revealed specific variations in their metabolism during infection …
