An investigation was carried out on the distribution and biodiversity of steinernematid and
heterorhabdtid entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) in nine regions of Italy in the period …

The ability of entomopathogenic nematodes to tolerate environmental stress such as
desiccating or freezing conditions, can contribute significantly to biocontrol efficacy. Thus, in …

Abstract Background Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) have a great potential as a
biocontrol agent for a wide range of insect pests. EPNs have attracted much interest around …

ABSTRACT A survey of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) was conducted in Morocco
during 2015 and 2016 in three regions with varying topography, climate and vegetation …

Queensland fruit fly (Bactrocera tryoni) is Australia's most significant horticultural pest, yet
limited options are available for its biological control. Here, we assessed the virulence and …

How climate change will modify belowground tritrophic interactions is poorly understood,
despite their importance for agricultural productivity. Here, we manipulated the three major …

Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) are lethal parasites of insects, used as biocontrol
agents. The objectives of this work were to survey the presence of EPN in continental …

Abstract Background The tobacco cutworm, Spodoptera litura [Fab.](Lepidoptera:
